Car is a Base Model w/Sport Package 6MT and ~1600 miles on the odometer. Downhill was obviously fine, but the climb back up was where the temps went to hell. It wasn't "bouncing" off the rev limiter, but was running 7200-7500 rpm before shifts in 85+ deg. low humidity weather.

As a side note, it also had the right front outside pad separate from the backing plate and scored the rotor pretty good too. New rotor and front pads will be forthcoming from the dealership.

This is only the first of what will be many runs on Skyline, other "mountain" roads and 100 miles/day of the notorious 680 Sunol Grade and 880 rush hour traffic in the SF Bay Area. If this continues to be a problem that is not solvable by Nissan's service department, it will trigger a lemon law claim.
