Take it to your local Nissan Dealership and give them the displeased owner show.

it might be ur CAI. there is water there and since u say it happens at 4k rpm... thats usually the point when ur intake kicks in. but the AEM has a water diverter. maybe it isnt working right. thats why i stuck to ram air... no problems with water.

if your tires sizing is improper it will cause your car to jerk and for vdc to kick in and thats about the right rpm. your car will start jerking bc it thinks its correcting for the rear end breaking lose etc. check your tire size.
