I can feel a big difference in the car from 180ish to 220+ I dont track my car (mainly cause there are no tracks on Long Island) but I plan on getting an Oil Cooler next month. Am I over reacting???? I think you need to take it down a few Notches.

Mine has reached 200-215 on very warm days, and driving highway speeds. Typically my car reaches around 190 degrees after few hours of driving (normal).

I look at it this way. Am I racing the car - no. Am I abusing the engine - no. Am I covered under warranty - Yes. I will let Nissan deal with the headache, and providing a solution if the engine craps out due to overheating. Til then, enjoy your car.
