Default Warning lights come on when driven FAST

so i decided to test out top end performance/handling on my 350z for the first time since getting it. I got as far as 130mph, let it slow down and put it into neutral. I at the time noticed my SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, CHARGE WARNING LIGHT, and ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ON. There may have been other that i dont recall. i braked and when the car was at 80mph i put it back into 6th gear and ALL of the warning lights were gone and havent come up since. Can anyone explain this?

btw i have a JWT popcharger, hks exhaust, wheels and lowered.

i did some more research and it seems it could be the notorious JWT intake issue, but when this happens do the warning service lights come on?

Did you try scanning the codes? How was your oil pressure itself on the gauge during the run( If you were able to notice, im sure u kept your eyes glued to the road.)

Yea maybe the car died and when you put 6th again it came on again and the lights off...those lights come on when the car dies or stall (example when you drop the clutch to fast w/o giving enough gas)

Sounds like your car shut off for a moment, all those lights are on before you turn the car on. Putting it back in 6th gear might have just jump started the ***** again.

Not sure why people get this with the JWT intake. I have had mines for over a year and never had a problem when putting in neutral regardless of what speed. Although I dont understand the need to put it in neutral on a stick shift.
