Default Problem starting my car/happens randomly

First time poster here, I got a 350z just a few weeks ago. Absolutely loving everything about it so far. But I have encountered my first problem, starting around a week ago. Sometimes the car will not start, nor will any indicators/radio/AC work with the keys in on position. Nothing. It seems completely dead. If i let the car sit for 10-15 minutes, it seems to crank up just fine. This happens only when i start the car consecutively in a short period of time (gas station, store, etc.). I am looking for any help possible. Thank you!

throwing any codes? your crank/cam sensors could be a culprit... my car didnt throw any codes but I replaced them and it solved my problem... is your batt still good? any corrosion around the terminals?

Im not throwing any codes. The battery is clean, terminals look spotless.

I had a similar problem a few months ago, reset the alarm/key fob and has been fine since.

Sensors will not affect accessories not working.....and I don't think alarm/key fob will either. The stock anti-theft feature allows the car to turn over - it just won't start. Would that be the other posters "similar" problem?

It could also be a ground. Check all your major grounds. My S13 was doing this a few months ago. Turns out the shop that went over the car for me decided to redo the battery relocation job, and their ground was garbage.
