IDZRVIT:

With respect, you are placing far too much faith in Nissan's willingness to own up if there is a problem with their VQ engines.

For example, owners of several MY06 350z's will know very well that Nissan only acknowledged that there was an oil consumption problem if the oil was virtually falling through the bottom of the sump. Apparently losing 1 entire quart of oil per 1,000 miles was acceptable, when most Z's use no oil at all. You needed to be using a massive 2 quarts per 1k miles for them to take any notice. Unfortunately for some poor owners the oil ran out before they noticed, bang went the engine and Nissan just said, "You should have checked the oil, sir."

I've accepted that here IS an overheating problem with the 370z, as have most people.
