Then I'd assume they'll be doing a recall to add oil coolers to our car.

Why would you assume that?

I live 40 minutes from there, and the only time I got it "hot" was on zdays 2010 in 90* weather and that was after the car was on for nearly 4 hours straight (had to drive in through cherohala, and then down the dragon due to rockslide) and it only got to 260*.

I got it to 255 every time I drove the Dragon, and only that low because I realized it mid way and switched to higher gears. Outside temps were mid-80's.

255 or 260 are closer than I'd like to be to limp mode (270).

I stay around 240-245 on most runs where its not blistering hot outside. The only time i ever got as high as 260 was that one day. I drive it harder now than i did then as back then I only had the car a week and needed to get used to it.

Mine is the same as DarkZide, I have been out there on 2 different days in the last month and never saw it get over 250. What gears were you using? I found that i spend the majority of the time in 2nd or 3rd unless i get behind someone going slow, then I'll change up to 4th or 5th. That being said, I don't think that Nissan will change their stance on adding an oil cooler to an existing Z but it would be nice. Depending on how it runs next summer in the desert I might be interested in a small one and it would be nice to have it covered under wrranty even if i pay to buy it and have it installed.

But that is because people don't know how to drive the Z on the Tail of the Dragon.

The only need is for those that track their cars, but I guess is good to have one from the factory since I'm tired of reading the magazines articles on how the Z overheats. Of course they are tracking the car in the magazines competition with other cars.
