kenchan has come up with several possibilities. Check all that stuff (except for maybe the tacohell thing ).
If there was a DTC a CEL would be present. I don't think that's the case here, I had similar problems with my Z back about a year ago and low oil was the cause(was down 2 quarts)

My problem went away when I started changing my own oil.

well you dont expect to be low on oil after 1k miles from your last oil change(750 to be exact was when it started and after the dealer kept telling me they cant replicate it, i got fed up and started checking everything around 1k miles from the last oil change) and i didnt think low oil would cause a problem like this

wow, eating oil like the kenchan deep frying tonkatsu.

for me i only drive my Z on the weekends and my routine includes unplugging the battery manager, check fluid levels, psi prior to pulling out.
