Is this smell normal??
 
I drive the car bring it home park in the garage and it smalls like burned oil or something? It's hard to explain at first I thought I was burning out the clutch cause it's been a while since I have driven one, but the smell is there everytime now..car has 200 miles on it, is this normal?

ps..whats the best solution for the hot oil problem, what are guys doing to fix this? Thanks Guys

Very normal, it will be that way for a while. If you want a laugh, push the car a tiny bit harder than normal (still staying under 4k) and then come back home or park somewhere and watch your pipes smoke for like 10mins.

When I got my NISMO same thing, and the black one I test drove before mine, same thing.

Haha, I smelled the same thing but as with what the others are saying, it is normal. I have 300 miles on mine. Its fun to go half throttle feel the torque and the speed increase. I have been to 4.5 k a couple of times today and hit 5k one time but mostly im under 4k. Its so hard to keep the car contained, it feels like it wants to go go go.
