Nissan's answer to you is that 240-250 is not a problem (as far as they are concerned). I do mostly agree with that because if you didn't have an oil temp gauge you wouldn't be complaining. I.e. sans looking at the temp gauge and freaking out the car wasn't misbehaving.

I've probably hit 260 on the street when pushing it a bit without a cooler, again not really a problem in small doses. If you're going to push the car hard then you need a cooler, otherwise put some black tape over the gauge and forget it's there until you hit limp mode for the first time. If you manage to achieve limp mode then you need a cooler.
