Different engine (and different recommended oil), but it's still Nissan, it's still based on the same platform, and those numbers look a lot more reasonable and normal to me than the idea that 250-280 is 'ideal' for our engines when running hard.
Would the GT-R's Turbos have anything to do with that? I know they are lubed by the oil. Too hot= coking? Just a guess. I'm just giving you the info I heard. I don't want to get flamed. I just never get why a business would want to lie to get ahead. We'll see. I'm glad you are all feeding back.

I'm with Spearfish. We're getting a warranted oil cooler. That's cool! Literally! (Oh, Spearfish, it's a Nissan Motorsports one. Is that Nismo? I'm a rookie with that brand. I'm usually Mr. Stock.)
