Why not go after them on the street?

AK, please close this thread. LOL, it is O/T to the max.

Alan, I find you a condescending fop.

This is about what I was told to expect from you. You're like a cat jumping for a reflection on a wall. Just keeps banging the wall with nothing to show for the effort.

Robert played down the oil issue early on while posting to the contrary in another thread. You can't have it both ways at the same time.

AK370, I won't post again.

I'm sure Porsche is actually going to lose some business because of the new 370Z. There would also be much less people in the market for a used Porsche as well which would help lower the price tag. How funny is that to think that Nissan could create something that would cause some Porsche roadsters to depreciate a little more than they would have.

I believe I explained my position then and now quite well in my opinion; sorry if that wasn't sufficient for you.

Perhaps you should look up ALL my posts on this issue before you start labeling me a liar (albeit in an indirect way). If you had bothered to look up my posts you would find that the only thing that has really changed were that my earlier concerns were replaced by (at this point) nine months and nearly 17,000 miles of real-world experience which has shown me this "problem" isn't really much of a problem at all except for a few.

I can't help but find it odd that you sold your 370 and have since, if I understood your earlier posts correctly, bought not one but two different Cayman's all for the sake of a $800-$1,000 oil cooler not being on the 370 from the factory...around here, spending the kind of money you've spent all for the sake of $1K oil cooler is what we call trying to make your point the hard (or at least the expensive) way.

yea i agree i went to nissan yesterday and was complaining too the square bear that was taking care of my issue. Basically if they dont own the actual car, they think its because of the owners "drivability issue". They hooked it up too the computer and couldnt find any stored codes and they know the cars never been in limp mode.so be careful too not dog yours z's out too hard or some codes will store and they will try to void your warranty if something happens because of high oil temps.

This is Nissan's official position on this matter:

The 370Z has an engine protection system that reduces peak engine speeds when the oil temperature exceeds recommended levels in order to protect against possible engine damage. Aggressive driving of the 370Z on a race track at sustained high engine speeds can cause increases in oil temperature and may activate this engine protection system. To avoid activation of this engine protection system and these reduced peak engine speeds, Nissan recommends an oil cooler be fitted to the 370Z before driving it on a race track. A Nissan Motorsports accessory oil cooler kit is available for customer purchase through authorized Nissan dealerships for race track use. The part number is 21300-SS370.

An oil cooler is not necessary for normal operation of the vehicle on public roads. The addition of an oil cooler would have raised the price of the car and potentially moved it out of the reach of some customers. Value has been a core principle of the Z car since the original 240Z and we choose to uphold this core principle by not adding additional costs that are unnecessary for normal use. For those individuals who choose to drive their vehicle on a race track, the oil cooler is available as an aftersales item.

The oil cooler is a Nissan Motorsports item and as such is sold without warranty, express or implied, unless expressly prohibited by law in which case the warranty provided is the minimum required by law. The installation of the Nissan Motorsports oil cooler does not, by itself, “void” the vehicle warranty. However any damage caused by the installation or use of this part is expressly excluded under the terms of the Nissan New Vehicle Limited warranty.

Remedy for what?

If you're tracking, put on a cooler per Nissans Rec's. If a street car, the potential of hitting limp (280 degrees) is pretty slim so you don't really have a problem. If it's just a matter of you not liking the temps, then put on a cooler. Nissan says it's OK..

What the hell are you talking about? Can you not read? Nissan's doing NOTHING. This is all on your dime if you chose to pursue this route.
