Agree.

Although I like this forum/site, it is so different from other automotive sites (like Pelicanparts). My deduction is that our cars are so new that the subject matters are totally the opposite of the other sites.

Still, I like it. It gives me novelty.

Lets design a sports car that you cant drive like a sports car, woo woo! Well, you can I guess...for about 15 minutes.

BMW, Mercedes Benz etc have all made sports cars for the road that do require modifications to be able to be tracked. Just check out the other forums and you will see Nissan has done nothing wrong. If you track your car then prepare it like you should. The street is not the track.

Oil temperature question
 
Nissan knew of this condition thus the limp mode. I don't track my car but I have been reading that track users in these cars do produce those temperatures. So when tracker complain about a few laps around the track and limp mode kicks in, I can understand Nissan's responds of," add a mode for cooling your oil", even though this car is advertised as a "sport car". But us cool drivers are finding out that just light spirited driving and driving in hot climates or stuck in traffic pushes the car into high temperatures like 280 degrees. Now to my question; how hot is hot? My car temperature is normally around 180-220. But with spirited driven or stuck in traffic on a hot day has reach up to 260. My point is even going into limp mode stuck in traffic will not reduce the oil temperature. Are these high temperature going to cause damage within the engine at some point. Don't you think Nissan's owes us an oil cooler? Shoud our investment have to break down before we think about joining in to get nissan to correct this matter. We might need a lawyer.

^ friend, this is quite the old thread you decided to dig up... that's fine, but I might suggest you search around - you'll see that the points you bring up have been debated over and over on this forum... member surveys have been done, letter writing campaigns, etc.
