255 or 260 are closer than I'd like to be to limp mode (270).

*shrug*

Mine is the same as DarkZide, I have been out there on 2 different days in the last month and never saw it get over 250. What gears were you using? I found that i spend the majority of the time in 2nd or 3rd unless i get behind someone going slow, then I'll change up to 4th or 5th. That being said, I don't think that Nissan will change their stance on adding an oil cooler to an existing Z but it would be nice. Depending on how it runs next summer in the desert I might be interested in a small one and it would be nice to have it covered under wrranty even if i pay to buy it and have it installed.
