Lack of Power... MAF Issue?

This has happened multiple times...

Pulled my '13 Z Base Model out of the garage today, drove up the driveway, and my Z was giving me quite a lack of power. I have some ideas on why it's happening, but want to see what your initial thoughts are.

Drop into 1st, start to drive and it isn't pulling even 1/6th of what she can do. RPM's slow to climb. Getting up a hill is very slow. It doesn't matter what RPM I'm at, it seems the comp is holding it back, almost like it's in a "safe mode". After driving for a bit, engine temp's at 160-180. Usually sits at 200-220.

This happens every once in a while... Maybe once a month...

I've taken the z into the local Nissan, but they said it didn't throw any errors when they ran it. They updated the software, but it seems like the problem is coming back.

If anyone has any ideas let me know!
