Anyone's Auto Z behaviour change when the car can't recognise a speed limit?

Something I noticed a bit strange. In my Nismo Z when the car cannot detect the speed limit it seems to rev/stay in gear longer.

I.e sport mode, 3rd gear 4k revs, doing 60-70km/h.

When it detects the speed limit is 70km/h, as soon as I get to around 70 it will upshift and sit 1500 revs unless I'm foot to the floor.

Coming from a manual 370z I am hating how the car is trying to be fuel efficient all the time. Even in sport plus, it will try and be fuel efficient when you're at cruising speeds.

Am I losing my mind here? Lol

Not sure I've noticed this. I tuned off all the speed limit assist and other stuff like that. I'll check into it and see how my settings are, and report back later.

maybe it's done in an effort to be more efficient on public roads as opposed to track use? no speed limit on track = more spirited driving?
