I want to play

In '12 Nissan added a pressurized and larger radiator overflow tank which increases the circulating volume of the coolant system. The oil cooler and the pressurized tank were to address the well know overheating issue on our cars. My '13 runs around 200 degree in DD and 220 with spirited driving. You still need an oil cooler on '13s for track work, but on the road most folks find the cooling upgrades Nissan added sufficient.

I have an 09' and I've never had mine above 220°. Which is normal temp for aluminum motors. Chevy LS motors run 200°-220° as well. But I will tell you I get brake fade like a mother fucker.

This break fade happens when? Do you track? If not,you got a lemon break wise. Either that,or you need to change your break fluid more often. These breaks are pretty decent on the sports package. Just have to maintain the maintainance!

Do autocross once in a while. Does it then and randomly if I'm driving like an *******. I have to replace my brake fluid anyways I'll see if that helps.

If you're driving like an ******* then it's not random. It's definitely not happening to you during normal everyday driving (for a normal person). Autocross? Yep, they're gonna get hot and fade if you don't switch the rotors to at least cross drilled or slotted rotors and/or change brake pads to help with fade (hot gas trapped between brake pad and rotor with no way to vent) and switch your brake fluid. You can even get the Stillen Brake Vent kit and install it, along with upgraded rotors, pads and brake fluid, then you can autocross and drive like a ******* all you want without brake fade. For us normal guys driving normally, even spirited every once in a while, brake fade is not an issue.These cars are not setup from the factory to take on tracks or autocross right off the showroom floor.

Oh, and speaking about driving like an ******* don't run your gas tank down to almost empty, then drive around right handed turns really really fast, then suffer fuel starvation, and then blame Nissan . That just amazes me every time I see someone complaining about it!
