I’m in a similar boat in that I just bought a 2013 with 81k miles with some history but not all. I was under the impression the 2013 and later Z’s had an oil cooler? Or did Nissan just make some changes to keep it cooler than older MY’s? Thanks

They added a oil cooler/sandwich plate to the oil filter stud that allows coolant to regulate the oil temp. I find it more useful for warming the engine up in cold weather than cooling it down in hot weather / when I'm flogging the car.

Tl;dr : get an oil cooler kit from Z1. You'll thank yourself.

Take a look at the differential cover for signs of a leak (looking at it from the rear of the car). If you see fluid stains (wheel hop is also a symptom), it's the diff bushing needing to be replaced.....

Unless you are putting down some really big whp/wtq the 7AT transmission is a very reliable and dependable transmission even for street duty or track duty and is quite efficient in terms of shifting through the gears. I have seen the 7AT transmissions last 250K-300K miles it really depends on what you use your Z for.

OP, I'm not sure if you are going to DD your car or not, but a random thought. Annual service of the AT (not to exceed 15000 miles) is a great idea. Heat is the biggest killer of ALL ATs, not just ours. Considering cost to R&I a 370Z 7AT is over $3500, a couple of hundred $$ on an annual basis is pretty cheap. Enjoy the car and happy modding... :tup:
