There is a lot of debate here about "tracking" the car and Nissan not being interested in lowering temps for that/versus warranty, etc. I can see that argument. However, there are many here in warm climates that are hitting 260 with minimal effort already. Is Nissan going to step up to the plate and say that improvements in metalurgy and lubricants will now allow these temps with no longterm effects on the engine? I guess as an earlier poster stated, someone needs an independant authority to do some testing on this and report some results.......... maybe that dude from 370.com that posts here quite often?
