I've held the Z at the topside of second gear through the last two miles of curves, and the oil temp has risen to 40 degrees past the safe zone. NISMO will be offering an optional oil cooler for this car, but the bean counters should have allowed them as standard equipment; [the engine]'s cooking much too quickly."
(The author says earlier in the article that he was shifting from second to third gear and back throughout the drive)
Hope this helps in our quest to get what we deserve from Nissan...

I'll be on the Dragon and then the Skyway this Saturday and it's looking like a warm day so I'll be watching my oil temps...as I mentioned in another thread I autocrossed my 370 last Sunday with no issues but apart from being a cool day, I'm not sure a 60 course would pose a problem anyway.
As the author noted above, I usually spend my time on the Dragon shifting from 2nd to 3rd and back to 2nd over and over again so...we'll see and I'll report back after my runs.
