Fairlady is just the name of the Nissan Z in Japan. It does not represent any kind of special edition.
Here's a short history of how the name came about.

I find it rather ironic that the "Live free or die" state requires a front plate.
P.S. I'm glad they put the Old Man of the Mountain on the plate. Unfortunately I never got a chance to see it in person.
I don't recommend whoever made this one. 🤣

The building they hit was my company's office until about 3 years ago.

If I had to guess based on the dash indicators, it looks like the forward collision warning system has an issue. I'd make sure the sensor isn't blocked first. If still having an issue, take it to the dealer.
I've seen the same thing on my wife's Rogue during very heavy rains.
It doesn't concern me since I don't need one in my state, but I wonder where the factory location is for the front plate? In the center would block the anti-collision sensor.
The steering response and VDC control are just software though. Engine response also. It would be easy to add a Sport+ mode to a manual if they really wanted to.
