i agree with this, did you modify the intake at all? my IAT stays 10 deg higher then ambient temp ( i monitor daily with SCAN gauge 2 ). Just removing my heat blocking intake boxes on my Stillen intakes raised the intake temp 20 deg. The Z has heat issues for sure.

FWIW; My car oil temp sits at 180 in till i start getting on it then it will raise in the 200, 220 if i stay on it. i do not have an oil cooler

Nope everything is stock except the short tails!
But thanks everyone! It feels a bit better knowing it's a manufacturers problem,
Definitely looking to get hfc, gen 3s
And ecuteck! And a oil cooler ofc,

Just wondering, are the camshaft or crankshaft sensors been a problem for this car? As it did with the 350z and g35?
I've had both cars in the past and oil gunk would shut off the car or limit power at times
