I think as long as your not flogging on the engine within those 10 miles, it should be fine.

I would venture to guess it's not gonna be anywhere close to a 25 row cooler. Nissan won't do any retroactive modifications for those of us who have our Z's already, but I do hope we don't get burned for warranty work because we have one installed. If I were to install that very same Nissan branded oil cooler for example, I hope Nissan and the dealership sees it as an approved add-on/accessory that doesn't affect the drivetrain warranty. Yes, they should have thought of it before, and they should do a retroactive for us simply because it's not an upgrade or option that should have been left out, especially for a sports car with a known issue....and they did know this! Otherwise, why have built in countermeasure in the limp mode protocol and install one in the upcoming model. They should help us out....doesn't mean they will, but they def should. Having exprerience limp mode, it does pose a possible danger while driving. Imagine suddenly not being able to rev past 3k rpm's while in stop and go traffic... then the traffic clears and everyone around you is doing 60mph. This happened to me before I knew of the limp mode issue and I can honestly say it was a nerve racking experience. Obviously not as dangerous as a stuck throttle or not having brakes, but there is an element of danger and the possiblity of a crash.

I say we post our concerns on the Nissan Facebook page and let Nissan know we as a community want this done retroactively. We're a big enough community to have some say in this don't you think.
