why some people take criticism of a car as a personal attack is an interesting phenomenon probably limited to those with about as much common sense as a monkey, meaning none |

Constructive criticism is welcome here. But you just don't read well. Nissan does offer an oil cooler as an aftersales item. You mentioned an oil burning 350Z and inferred the problem has been carried over to the 370Z. High oil temps are only an issue on the track. So, go buy your GT and eat a banana.

all I am saying is that for me personally, in South Florida where it is very hot at least six months of the year, I will not buy a 370Z unless I can get an oil cooler installed at purchase that does not affect the warranty. The 2011 Mustang GT by the way will have over 400 HP. |

I live in Houston and it's just as hot and humid as it is in florida and I have NEVER seen temps over 230 and 210 is the normal temperature even when autoxing. If you track your car you will need a cooler otherwise it is NOT a problem.

Yep, and I bet that if you park a 2011 370Z next to a 2011 Mustang GT the Z will draw more people to it than the GT. Last edited by VCuomo; 03-15-2010 at 10:05 PM. |

Reply from Nissan North America
Here is the reply I got from nna in regards to my earlier letter I sent:
Thank you for taking the time to contact Nissan North America, Inc. and allowing us the opportunity to be of assistance. We apologize for the delay in the response. In regards to your inquiry, in order to decrease oil temperature that may activate this engine protection system, Nissan recommends that an oil cooler kit be fitted to the 370Z. If you wish to purchase the Nissan Motorsports accessory oil cooler kit, it is available as an after market accessory item through Nissan Motorsports, part # 21300-SS370. File # 6766456 has been created to document your concern. Please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-647-7261 (Nissan Consumer Affairs) with any questions or comments. Sincerely, Nissan North America, Inc. |
