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.

..........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.

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.

Why do you continually feel the need to flame the newsgroup like that? How do you think any of this stacks up against the newsgroup rules and limitations? If the moderator where here now, do you feel that all your actions wouldn't even raise and eyebrow.

How do you expect me to respect you if you can't even respect me first?

FYI, let me tell you something. At ZCON09, I met with a few Nissan people and one of them who helped design the Z, as well as Autech. The guy from Autech rode in my car on the track and we talked.

They brought their own 370z NISMO out to the track. If Nissan didn't think it would be a issue, then how come they put the damn oil cooler on the car that was there and not the production models? I even asked them this, and they are aware of the issues. Sadly, I have owned so many Nissan's in my years that I know them too damn well. I know them well enough that they don't give a crap on this issue to resolve it for everyone like other automakers. You are on your own.

Issues that are only issues on the track are not Nissan's responsibility to resolve.

Which proves NIZMOZ's point, right? For the record, I actually agree with you that track-only issues aren't Nissan's responsibility to fix. Of course, some companies go above and beyond their bare minimum responsibilities in an effort to keep their customers happy; evidently, Nissan isn't one of them. But that's neither here nor there. The only point I'm trying to make here is that your response perfectly exemplifies the 'not our problem, we don't give a crap' attitude that NIZMOZ is talking about. (I mean, considering that you work for Nissan Corporate and all.)

So is your answer that everyone who buys a 370Z ought to have to cough up another $800-1,000 per vehicle so they can get an engine oil cooler even though only a tiny percentage of buyers actually need it? Does that really make sense?

It would be nice if every 370Z had a engine oil cooler but no car can be everything to everybody and every mas produced vehicle is a collection of compromises. Further, and perhaps most importantly, nothing is free and while you may be more than willing to pay the extra cost for a factory fix not everyone would be - for every person on this or related enthusiast's board screaming for a factory oil cooler there are probably 500 who truly don't care and wouldn't want to pay an extra nickle for a engine oil cooler (nor will ever need one).
