Really? was it that easy!
 

Im new to the 370's and the japanese sports car deal so bear with me.
Went for a midnight stroll in my new nismo and the oil temp went over 280 in just a matter of 15 minutes or so. I was mashing it a little but should this happen that soon. Southeast, US. outside temp at 78. Will be doing a DIY oil cooler setup so how big of an oil cooler should i use. Fabrication brackets and other modifications to install are not an issue. Thanks for your input!!

A Diy on a Nismo has been done, this may help you.

I love this car and dont mean to bitch but whats with the oil temps and why is the paint so poor. The paint jobs on these 38 Grand $ rides suck for the money. Im going in for paint warrenty work tomorrow. DRIVING MINE LIKE I STOLE IT!! (The NISMO'S do float in the turns if you drive them hard enough though)!!

Yes Agree, a Cooler will fix the heating issue, and aftermarket suspension upgrades are available

Thankee. The nismo floating may keep me on the road and not the ditch. LOl!! Its so easy to drive hard in and power out of the turns. The middle of the turn gets me in question with these. FUN cars thats for sure.

I've driven very hard in temperatures above 105 outside, and I've yet to see 230+ with no oil cooler installed.

One day, I had to make about 20 stops in a single afternoon, and I'm sure my engine was hating me with all the stops, traffic lights, and 6k+ RPMs it saw, but it responded well and *almost* hit 230.

/shrug

I guess i dont like to stop. humidity at 98%. weather.com area code 29651. sorry excuses for a car manufacture. 67 camaro still bustin z06 a&$!! No oil temp issues. Want trade my ride for nothing but damn. U know. Is there any Z Clubs around the upstate? Ceasars head is a awsome ride in upstate sc if anyone wants to run it. It is a good low gear hard!!! run up and down a mountain. Lots of FUn. Lunch on top of the mountain or hit the blue ridge park way in Asheville.

it kind of seems like every z is different tho because i have heard of many ppl not having any high temps and then other having crazy high temps like urs...i had to even had my engine replaced at 23k because the engine was consuming too much oil so i think that with this engine some people just get lucky and others dont...kinda sucks

I'm near you in Johnson City Tn. If you want to meet in Ashville sometime, I'm game.

you checked for spring spacers right?

OP, your Z really did get hot and it did it pretty quickly. And also didymus is right about the spring spacers. Alot of the dealers have forgotten to, or did not know to remove them

dumb n00b question.
spring spacers?


guess I'll go do the search thing.

Yea I checked for spring spacers and found three on each one. Rides alot better now too. Crazy 8 next weekend I get free ill give ya a shout and well get together for a cruise.

Are you low on oil?
