Agreed. Nissan determined that their bearings will just start to break down somewhere north of 300 degrees due to their constuction technique (reformulated bearings no long use lead for enviromental reasons) so they put a 280 degree safety limit. Cars aren't actually "overheating", the safety system is just kicking in.
