That's a Nissan fault.
Perhaps only my Master cylinder is bad, not my slave.

I am going to start another thread about that issue. I will provide more details and link to it later in this thread. Thanks.

The Top Whisperer in San Diego that I was lucky enough to find says the 370z top is among the worst of the worst. He has never known a 370z Roadster owner that didn't have problems.

His highest praise was reserved for Porsche tops. Although apparently, most convertible tops are made by a small handful of suppliers. I think there are 3 or so primary rag top makers that nearly all automakers use.

The base of Little Cottonwood to Snowbird is about 10 miles and 3000 ft elevation gain. Driving spiritedly (3000 to 6500 rpm, mostly in 3rd) with 50 degree valley temps cooling to 40 degrees. She would get up to just under 260 (255?) degrees.

IMHO, the car should have come with an oil cooler, stock. It appears, perhaps due to noise generated on this forum, that Nissan, admitted as much as well.

I ended up installing a Fast Intentions 34 row to deal with what I perceived to be a heat problem. She hasn't been over 240 since.

keeping oil temps that high will kill this gasket prematurely as well.
I've recently seen some posts about gallery gaskets, I was a little afraid to read them.
