Maybe just having a single post thread that sums up what everyone has discovered:

1. Temps may be high during the initial thousand miles but will decrease as the engine breaks in.

2. On a properly broken in car you will not hit limp mode during street driving.

3. If you track your car you will need to install an oil cooler. If you only plan on autoxing this is unneccesary.

4. And then Nissan's official statement on the matter.

Just a suggestion so we don't have to keep going over this again and again every time someone new joins the board and doesn't want to read though all 60 pages.
I agree with you on this, with the caveat that some of us want the added protection and lower running temps a cooler provides, as stated in my previous post. But that scenerio is different than the sky is falling, and as you state, this causes new or prospective owners to panic first, before reading all the dialogue that exists on the subject.
