good point on the thermostat.

i think the use (or overuse) of the viscous diff will depend on the track, but i don't think there are many track rats that are glad that the z has a viscous lsd vs a mechanical.

Since picking up on the oil temps issues raised here, I began digging into other threads re: oil temp and coolers.

There seems to be quite a bit of concern regarding high oil temp certainly for track and also for canyon carving. There is also a a lot in a thread about oil coolers needing to be blocked off to allow oil temp to come up properly, and that a thermostat for oil coolers is a less than perfect answer.

Is there a factory fix or dealer installed Nissan cooler available that I am missing?

Otherwise this is probably a deal killer.

Thanks,

EB
