This happened to me a week ago and I haven't seen it since. 2013 Nismo MT.

I started my car and backed out of my driveway. I noticed the throttle response was a little off. As I went down my street I tried to accelerate quickly, but could only get about 20% power. As I started to push the gas pedal it acted normal, but once the pedal was at about 20% my car didn't respond any more. Even with the pedal to the floor it was as if the pedal was still at 20%. The gear I was in didn't matter. After I got to my destination I restarted my Z and it worked fine. It hasn't come back since.

Just a glitch with the drive-by-wire system? Problem with the pedal position sensor? Hopefully just a one time glitch, but it has me worrying.
