Having said that, it still disturbs me that my 2000 Ranger truck with a 4.0L engine has, not only an oil cooler, it also has a transmission fluid cooler. This is no sophisticated, high-end vehicle; it cost way less than half the price of a Z. Tell me again why Nissan can't afford to include an oil cooler?

Just a guess, but they are using the lack of an oil-cooler as a breaker switch for other systems on the car, figuring that it will hit limp mode before other things are worn out from track-use/spirited driving. I'm not basing that on anything substantial, just a guess.
