It was designed to go after the Cayman. It succeeded. Nissan has a storied history of attacking (and defeating) Porsche on the track. And with the GT-R now taking the crown from the Porsche GT3, Nissan is attacking on two fronts.

Why not go after them on the street? :tup:

AK, please close this thread. LOL, it is O/T to the max. :wtf2:

The world according to Steve :bowrofl:


This is about what I was told to expect from you. You're like a cat jumping for a reflection on a wall. Just keeps banging the wall with nothing to show for the effort.

Robert played down the oil issue early on while posting to the contrary in another thread. You can't have it both ways at the same time.

AK370, I won't post again.

alan you have a pm.

I'm sure Porsche is actually going to lose some business because of the new 370Z. There would also be much less people in the market for a used Porsche as well which would help lower the price tag. How funny is that to think that Nissan could create something that would cause some Porsche roadsters to depreciate a little more than they would have.

I believe I explained my position then and now quite well in my opinion; sorry if that wasn't sufficient for you.

Perhaps you should look up ALL my posts on this issue before you start labeling me a liar (albeit in an indirect way). If you had bothered to look up my posts you would find that the only thing that has really changed were that my earlier concerns were replaced by (at this point) nine months and nearly 17,000 miles of real-world experience which has shown me this "problem" isn't really much of a problem at all except for a few.

I can't help but find it odd that you sold your 370 and have since, if I understood your earlier posts correctly, bought not one but two different Cayman's all for the sake of a $800-$1,000 oil cooler not being on the 370 from the factory...around here, spending the kind of money you've spent all for the sake of $1K oil cooler is what we call trying to make your point the hard (or at least the expensive) way.

:worship:

Nissan wins on the track, Nissan wins in this thread.

:owned:

yea i agree i went to nissan yesterday and was complaining too the square bear that was taking care of my issue. Basically if they dont own the actual car, they think its because of the owners "drivability issue". They hooked it up too the computer and couldnt find any stored codes and they know the cars never been in limp mode.so be careful too not dog yours z's out too hard or some codes will store and they will try to void your warranty if something happens because of high oil temps.

Oil temp probs
 

HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY A REMEDY (VIA NISSAN) - THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF - NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AT THIS POINT...ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

STEVEN.MANGAN@YAHOO.COM:mad:

This is Nissan's official position on this matter:

Remedy for what?

If you're tracking, put on a cooler per Nissans Rec's. If a street car, the potential of hitting limp (280 degrees) is pretty slim so you don't really have a problem. If it's just a matter of you not liking the temps, then put on a cooler. Nissan says it's OK..

Oh thank heavens. This is the best news I've heard all week. Since Nissan will be supplying the oil cooler it helps take all the guesswork out of this type of modification. Kudos to Nissan for listening to the customers complaints and taking some action. The pen is mightier than the sword.

:driving:

:bowrofl:
-1 rep for you!

What the hell are you talking about? Can you not read? Nissan's doing NOTHING. This is all on your dime if you chose to pursue this route.

No he can't read, remember his previous posts..... then he got mad and attacked me and my city :roflpuke2:
