As far as I know, the new Nismo has a better oil cooler but the over heating issues IMO are greatly exaggerated; that is unless you plan on tracking the car. If you are doing some spirited driving around town and on the highways - I think the current oil cooler will be alright. I have a 2011 and live in TX - where it's hot.....and then hotter - the car 'knock on wood' hasn't had any overheating issues.
If I could do it all over again, I would go and grab a lower mileage 2013-14 model. I agree with another poster here, the 2018 is suppose to be a new model with different look and feel - that being said, like any older model - the depreciation hit will suck. Just like I was able to score a good deal on my G35 coupe when the G37 coupes hit the market. Just my .02
Decided to look for a few cars (didn't care how far away from me) and came across 2 that I would consider if i was in the market now (the first one being what I would probably ultimately get)
2011 sport with touring - 16500 miles

2012 Nismo with 14000 miles

To me, a new Nismo would be around $38-42....if you got the 2011, you would save yourself around $16k....put $5k aside and add front and rear sways/springs and an FI exhaust with a tune - I think you would come out ahead and not take the depreciation hit - add the low miles on that ride and I think you would be happier (at least I know I would be happier if I went that route LOL)
Good luck to whatever you choose - the Z is a great car - it has it's faults but EVERY car has it's faults; all I know is that it puts a smile on my face whenever I take off and look to go for a drive.
