Getting Nissan to do something about the oil cooler...

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.

They aren't going to do anything about it.. you are pissing in the wind my friend.

buy yourself an oil cooler and enjoy your car.

Yeah I've already read that pile of bull ****.

I was going that route until they told me that they don't have it in stock and that it is back ordered for who knows how long. Sorry I'm not paying for something that I might get months later on down the road at this point. I just started looking in to this and there are other things to try, anyone who gives up that easily deserves to pay $780 and wait up to 4 months for something that isn't even usable yet.

Why such thin skin regarding this topic? If you're complacent, spent the money already on the oil cooler and or simply have no drive to do anything about it, why does this thread pertain to you? Unless you're bored and looking for a flame?

Well, whatever you do, get one with a 200-210*F thermostat so you keep oil temps at optimal levels and don't have to **** around with the block off plate BS in the winter...
