I have never seen oil temps. above 250 even while driving up long mountain grades in 80 deg. temperatures. I don't understand the frenzy about overheating unless a good many owners flog their machines. These are highly engineered cars with an excellent quality rating and they don't come cheap.

You hit it right on the nail. The Nissan 370Z was perfectly well engineered by mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineers why have their Masters Degrees and Ph Ds. On top of that these same engineers are Japanese who have a reputation for always doing excellent work. If the 332 HP V6 on a 3,300 pound car is overheating even though everything is working as designed, then it is not the engine; it is the driver. Everything overheats if it is overworked. In this case, it is no different.

Oh yea, and my 2006 350 oil consumption car, was driver fault as well..... including all the other '06 drivers with the same issue being at fault too. And by the way numb nuts, the Z is NOT a 4000 pound car

That's right! It's a 3,300 pound car or less! What's the point of bringing this up? It doesn't help to prove your point, it only helps further enhance my own. The less the sports car weighs, the more I'm right that the car seriously shouldn't be overheating so long as everything is operating as designed and that the driver isn't outright flogging their engine. You should learn to lighten up. You're just like Lieutenant Tuvok in "Star Trek Voyager". With Captain Kathrine Janeway marooned in the Delta quadrant.

i suggested earlier that avitech should buy a versa he said not to drive over 80mph

I'm driven my Nismo pretty hard and have yet to see temps above 220. Now, I haven't spent 20+ minutes straight above 5k RPMs, but I'm not sure there's a place for that type of driving unless you're on the track, in which case shouldn't you have an oil cooler anyways?

Reading through this thread, I'm confused... Seeing a thread called "oil temp issues" with so many replies made me think there may be a problem. Reading through the thread only makes me feel better, seeing as so many people have no issues while driving normal.

Or am I way off?

Driving normal my oil temp stays under 220. But as soon as i put in fresh oil and start with the aggresive driving it gets close to 260. I agree with an oil cooler for the track but people are saying that nissan says adding the cooler will void the warranty

..........and you're just like most of the other trolls here who don't own a 370 but "think" they are God's gift to the membership, enlightening us with your "perceived" knowledge. Love the Star Trek analogies BTW

I'm glade you liked it! I see that you live in Charleston South Carolina. Home of the Citadel. Why don't you take your Nissan Z to your downtown parking garage that has absolutely NO handy cap/disabled parking on the upper levels with no elevator. And from there you can have lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant.

A Troll AND a showoff....nice! We're all very impressed.

I lived in Charleston for nearly four years (stationed there) and loved it.

The Citadel is a great institution.

Most mobility impaired folks in Charleston are probably smart enough to not park on the upper levels of a parking garage (hence, no need for handicapped parking spaces or an elevator).

Perhaps you are a mobility impaired moron who was denied entry to the Citadel (can't imagine why) and aren't smart enough (big surprise) to park on the first level of a parking garage so that you don't need to use an elevator.

Oh, so now you want to slam Charleston, the South, the Citadel, and indirectly the military? You are an opinionated piece of sh!t. You come here with no Z, and write "opinions" about things that you have ZERO first hand experience with........ spewing your "conjecture" about how "Japanese engineers are Gods".......... "if the Z is running hot it is driver error" .............. "anyone who drives over 80MPH is reckless and a danger to society". When/if you ever purchase a Z, troll, drive it in some real world conditions, assuming you can mangage that, then report back with some actual first hand knowledge, not your second hand BS. Only fools go into a forum as a new member, then start spouting off opinions as if they are experienced based fact, attack the existing membership, then wonder "what did I do to turn everyone against me?" You really know how to make friends and influence people ................ I bet you make your mother proud.
