its because your fluid level is low. when you "jump" on it all the fluid goes to the back of the reservoir and triggers the low level sensor.

OEM brake lights are not designed to handle your awesomeness.

LOL even my 85 accord lit the brake light when the fluid was low. Awesomeness is nothing exclusive to the Z or Nissan.

I believe the low fluid sensor has been on cars since they went to the dual master cylinder about 30 or 40 years ago. This is nothing new.
