I will be the first in line to tackle Nissan...and I will...if my Z overheats in normal driving conditions, or even if I choose to get a bit more aggressive on the street or the highway. When I say aggressive, to me this means revving the engine higher than normal when shifting for a reasonable period of time or letting it loose on a wide open roadway, or carving up some curvy back roads. I will not be engine braking at high speeds on track corners, or switching the VDC off to burn some rubber off of some really expensive tires. Start posting if you have higher than normal oil temps with reasonable driving, and lets see how many folks have the engine temp issues. If you overheat at the track, just put on an oil cooler and then fight it out with Nissan if they try to "dog" you on a warranty issue. If it overheats because you push it a bit harder than most cars, then Nissan has a problem under WARRANTY OF FITNESS. A sports car with 330+ horsepower, heavy duty brakes, and beefed up suspension is an "implied warranty" that the car is intended (and fit) to be operated more aggressively than your routine passenger car or truck. Nissan had better pay attention to this.
