Yeah those types put a higher load on the coolant side. As stated the Water side has lots of overhead. The car also runs relatively cool for a modern emissions car. Typical 180-182 in mild weather. The water temp "Gauge" on the Z keeps the same light lit from 155 degrees all the way up to 215 so that's pretty worthless. Monitoring with a scangauge though says No problem. Check the Oil cooler DIY link in my Sig. below for more info on temps etc.
