New here, thinking about purchasing one

Oil temp issues are easily solved with an oil cooler. Furthermore, you'll only get overheating issues if you actually track the car.

There are plenty of oil cooler options out there, ranging from 400+. All are fairly easy to install and can be done in a few hours for the most part.

Why not just LSX swap the FD?

How are the Apex Seals holding up? Any oil consumption? How's the gas mileage on the RX7?

There are plenty, maybe thousands, of posts on here stating that oil temp is not a problem with the 370Z unless you track the car. Read, man! Read!

No warranty issue with an oil cooler unless it's installed incorrectly and causes a problem. Again...no oil temp problem UNLESS YOU RACE THE CAR AT THE TRACK.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the rotary, I used to own an RX-3.

Merry Christmas, I hope Santa brings you a Z!

Here's my Xmas present:

Haha, thanks for the support guys! Looks like its going to be a Z afterall. I mean, i've already picked out my wheels hahaha.

as for the 7, the seals are fine, i just had the engine rebuilt a few thousand miles ago...my mileage is above 100g but its still running very well...still low for its age.
