Enjoy your GT...

not an issue, learn how to read and interpret information
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.

if you review the collected data it is clear that oil temp issues were present on both the street and track.
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.

The collected data is out-dated and therefor inaccurate. Some people did report "high" oil temps when the car was new but all of them no longer have issues once the car was properly broken-in. Also many people overreacted to what "high" is and we concerned for no reason.

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.

I didn't take it as a personal attack - where did you get that from?

Personally, I am hoping that Nissan will at least offer the oil cooler as an option for the 2011 model year...

Sure sounds like you think there's an oil temp issue to me. How much common sense does it take to read the info that's easily available on this site (in this thread, in fact) and figure out that there is no oil temp issue (which means that people aren't "concentrating on oil temps instead of just enjoying the car")? Now is that a banana in your hand?

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.

Awesome - enjoy your GT! You really shouldn't get a 370Z.... they are aweful!

Where does Nissan say that the 370Z is a trackable car straight from the factory? And trust me, based on what they're charging for just the parts it would have equated to a $700 or so upcharge on the price (especially since you have to also figure in installation labor at the factory), not $350-$400.

Again, IMHO it's not a weak argument and they did the right thing.

BTW - If your car is going into limp mode under normal driving conditions then you've got a legitimate warranty issue that Nissan has to correct. If that means they install an oil cooler for free, then that's what they should do. But how many people are having oil temp problems under normal driving conditions? Hardly any (maybe none), I bet...

I don't have an oil temp issue and don't expect to have any on the road as i choose not to do anything stupid in public... it's just very sad that my old polo gti (stock) could take tracks in it's stride and this car will run out of puff after 5-6 laps...

Here is the reply I got from nna in regards to my earlier letter I sent:

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.

Unbelievable.

Go buy your Mitsubishi or Mazda. I'm sure their customer relations department will respond in a similar fashion to the issues you think you might have with those cars..

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