I am also fairly certain that the owners of the parking lot upon which you were performing your experimentation are pleased with your tire marks. To me, it is no different than vandalism. I am sure you asked permission first, right?

I was told by a dealership that the Smode thing was a "known" issue. As i mentioned before they said it had something to do with it being retarded cold outside. This is at least backed by my 2 instances of it happening both being snowfall days. Other than that it doesnt seem to have any rhyme or reason, once while driving "2 months pass" then again randomly as im starting my car in the morning for a trip to the store. another nonsense inexplicable Z34 issue?

Happened to me once. It was not a cold day when it happened. I did a ctrl-alt-delete and all was well. Just turned it off and turned it back on. Hasn't happened since. I was driving moderately aggressive but the oil temp was not above 210-215 so it was not that aggressive. I have no idea why it happened but I have driven many different conditions, colder, hotter, wetter at many levels of aggressivness, from not to highly. So, knock on wood, hopefully that problem will not rear it's ugly head again.
I like the doughnut dizzy spell diagnosis.

There's a description of how the S-Mode system works, list of inputs/outputs, &c starting at page EC-107 of the FSM (2009 version). Might help you troubleshoot the problem.

Second time it happened was a couple months later, i just started the car up to go to the store and it instantly flashed SMODE for no reason, even though i had been driving it without issue for the last couple months. Did the ecu reset trick again and it is normal again. So i stopped at the dealer and they all scratched their heads and poked at the computer a bit like chimps until the lead tech said "oh yeah, thats a known issue when the car is really cold, or theres a fault detecting the sensors" so they checked all the physical connectors related to the aystem and they were all 100% fine. I got no definitive answer why. Not the mention, fauling once while driving and once during startup at complete random with months of driving between doesnt seem to be a sensor issue to me. Sounds more like an ecu issue. |

Yeah. A bit like the traction light and brake light staying on for no reason. I call glitches. |

Forgot that in the MT the pedals go out, and the SRM goes out
