Nissan needs to get down on it, and correct all these issues.

Just curious, why would one Z have a higher operating temp than another Z, assuming they're both driven the same way? Seems if one over heated, they all would.

Does anyone know of a company in Austin that would install the Nissan Motorsports unit for me. I am not a DIY person unfortunately and it appears my dealer has never done one and I would hate to be the first for them if I can help it. Any help would be appreciated.

Not all engines are created equally unfortunately.

Wow! Surprised to hear that.

This is quite an engine we have in our Z's, state of the art. To have them not all created equally would mean shoddy workmanship or poor quality control at the factory, and I have a very hard time believing that Nissan is doing that with these engines, or with anything to do with the whole 370Z for that matter. These are very solid, well built and quality automobiles all the way around, as their history will prove them to be.

But ........ anything's possible, I guess.

I'm not trying to say that they have shoddy workmanship or poor quality. But it's just a fact that not every engine is exactly the same. It's not like EVERY engine has the same HP numbers to the wheels, or that the valves on each car seat exactly the same. There are so many variables that come into play that make each engine different.

Right. It's like . . pants. You can go buy two pair of pants that are exactly the same. Same brand, same size, etc. But try each pair on and there will most likely be minor variations between the two.

I find it out that over 40% report no issues at all with oil temperatures, but only 2% say that no action is required. If you're not having any issues, like me, why do you think there needs to be a fix?

I'm certainly not disputing that some 370z owners are having issues, of course.

I've never driven a sports car before, but what *should* be the oil temp on a 100 degree day during spirited driving? Are there any sports cars without factory oil coolers running cooler than 220 in that environment?

I'm sure I'll be flamed for it, but I think a couple credible forum members having some rough days after tracking (or possibly driving the snot out of) their Zs are making people go into panic mode. I guess after a Georgia July passes, I'll find out if I need to eat my own words.
