If yes, what are the options and what would you recommend?

What option will not void the warranty?

Who can I have install it, and what should installation cost be?

Any help appreciated, thanks.
If your running 220 in hot weather then you are probably fine. My Z was 220 in *cold* weather and would hit 240 in the summer. During traffic + summer it would do 250.

I got up to 260 (and would have hit limp mode) when I did spirited driving on glendora mountain road (when it was like 60s F out).

Once I got an oil cooler normal temps are more like 180-190ish and in the heat around 200-210. Had no problems even tracking the car once I go the oil cooler but probably got up to 240-245 when tracking (even with cooler).

Another one here with the Nismo/nissan oil cooler.
