Everyone with oil temp issues

Mag350Z · 11-24-2009, 09:05 PM

Robert,
an interesting post. Do you know if your mechanic has an idea if the 350Z has similar oil temperatures? Perhaps he has seen a 350Z with an added oil temp gauge?
I love the way the 370 looks, I'm just hesitant to pull the trigger on a purchase given the problems I had with oil consumption with my 2006 350Z. I am in South Florida where is it always hot, and the thought of driving around staring at the oil temperature all day bothers me.
Thanks

Adam

Funny stuff. Nissan owned Porsche in IMSA, they own them on-track now....and now they've pwned Porsche with a $35000 car plus legendary Japanese reliability.

Not to mention how Nissan pwned porsche at the $80K price point.

"“We absolutely maintain (that) Tochio Suzuki – the chief test driver on the GT-R program pounded thousands of laps – he got to know every inch of Nurburgring (circuit) and how the car performs on the Nurburgring and hence set that fabulous lap. More than that, I can’t speculate. I can’t explain why they (Porsche GT3) couldn’t match the time.”

Justifiable.

He has a 350 he tracks regularly...he put a cooler on it. The 350 like most cars need an additional oil cooler if you are going to drive it that that edge.

To answer your next post, no, I've never hit limp mode and while I try to stay out of jail as much as possible; I don't baby my cars.
