First track experience today ! Some good, some really bad

Good to know. I will definately keep an eye on that when I hit the track next weekend. The problem with the ECU sounds a lot like "limp mode" on

Good to know. I will definately keep an eye on that when I hit the track next weekend.

The problem with the ECU sounds a lot like "limp mode" on the 350, but more advanced. The 350Z computer would cut rpms down to 2500 as well and once you turned it off for a while, it would reset.

Seems the only solution would be cooling the oil as most already said. Adding more oil capacity and a cooler should do the trick. Also, had you swapped the oil yet since you picked it up from the dealer? That also may be some of the problem as I am sure the facory oil is more of a detergent/low grade oil. If you haven't yet, changing your oil should help a bit too. If you are doing a lot of tracking, I suggest Pure Power Motor Oil. Pure Power is used in NASCAR, and many many other professional racing series. The only bummer is, it only comes in 5 gallon jugs, not quarts. This is the same oil we run in the DoubleDownMotorsports.com Time Attack 350Z.

How were water temps?
