all the guys ragging on op for bein 20, im 20 as well. i make decent income, i can afford this car, end of story. for all you know hes doin pretty well financially and wants to get himself a nice ride.
about your questions, id say the oil temp thing and the brake thing is over hyped. normal people on normal roads will NOT require an oil temp, even on canyon runs (general info from being on this forum), if you go on a track however like you mentioned you WILL require an oil cooler because of the long periods of time at WOT and because ur pushing a car not built to drive on the track (pretty much most cars aren't built for this, not even like caymans so its reasonable). As for the brakes, i've only really heard braking problems from like very dedicated track racers (rcz, travisjb) although i would also recommend buying a pair of track pads (if you have the spare cash) and swapping them at the track. Its not recommended that you daily drive track pads, not to mention you're needlessly wearing them out.
Other than these two points nissan has done an admirable job with this sports car for the masses
As for synchro-rev, i find it incredibly useful. i only turn it off when i feel like practicing or doing heel-toe myself (to be more involved). but daily driving in traffic, its a very good tool, makes the drive much smoother and more enjoyable.
