2012 Model Will Have OIl Cooler

Forrest

Did any previous generation owners get mad reading this like I did?

Limp mode to me was an admission that they knew of the problem but did not want to spend the money to put an oil cooler on the car to fix it. Limp mode treats the symptom, not the problem.

I wouldn't say I'm mad ... a little amazed it took 3 model years to actually fix the problem and not just try to address the symptom. I guess that Nissan got tired of reading articles by major automotive magazines about how the car went into limp mode and thus couldn't compete in a car comparison or be fully evaluated.

For me, it's the greatest disappointment I have with the car. I'm disappointed with the fact that an owner of a 370Z can operate the car within Nissan's pre-determined acceptable range of engine RPM's, and yet the car may not be able to operate safely as it may have to invoke a "safe" limp mode.

I hadn't owned a Japanese car in 25 years until I bought the 370Z, and while I am impressed with how great of a car it is for the price, this is a bit disappointing. Perhaps I shouldn't expect so much.

No. Would I have found value in waiting a year or more to finally enjoy my car. No. What is the delta between the MSRP 2009 and the 2012 when they were new? My oil cooler was $880 installed at the dealership. Less than a few dollars a day at worst.

I've gotten over it. I hope you can too.

This^. This is my "beef". I bought the car knowing full well it didn't have and needed an oil cooler. I'm not getting mad at Nissan because I chose to buy a car and enjoy it for a year and a half with no oil cooler. And I'm not expecting them to just give me something for free.

I like your attitude. I must admit I should have known about the oil cooler before hand yet I didn't realize it until after my purchase and still I do not care.

A nice gesture from Nissan would be to discount future OC purchases to those who now need/want them. I would be excluded since I already got one. Besides the dealer ate labor anyway.
