I really appreciate the feedback. It is an 03 and I disconnected the negative battery line and it reset everything. Today as I was driving it just lost power? No lights came on it just would not go anywhere when I gave it gas? All my electronics were working it just would not go when I pushed the pedal... Again no lights came on. I put it in park and started it and it was fine. Driving home the same thing happened... My rpm's just crashed? Thanks again for the help

Don't disconnect the battery anymore, it will just make it take longer for any codes to come on. Without a code # I wouldn't even take it to a mechanic unless they were good Nissan/ Z shop.
Try to find a safe area and replicate the problem. Note MPH, RPM, throttle position if you can when the problem happens. Assistant helps. If you can get the thing to set a hard ECM code this will be a lot easier. There should be at least a code in the TCM or BCM for the TCS failure after the problem happens. Not all code readers can get into those modules though, might need real scanner.

You're driving along at speed and this happens or are you coming to a stop/idle when this happens? Does it happen when you disengage the clutch like you're coming to a stop (sudden RPM drop)? As noted above, you need to be very specific about the conditions that bring this problem on.
Mileage?
Recent maintenance?

Buy one of these first:

Check code, report back. It's best to be as close to 100% diagnosis before throwing parts at something.
