when you are heating the coolant at both ends, you run into issues. trust me. i've run into this issue before. the tipping point on the last car I ran with this setup was about 270.

What about track rats? Would it be possible to do a 20-30 min hard lapping session without overheating the oil using this OEM cooler? If not, then we're back where we started 3 years ago, and the Z would still require an aftermarket oil cooler to be track worthy.
And what do you mean by heating the coolant "at both ends"? Is the oil cooler supplied by coolant flowing from the radiator to the engine or the engine to the radiator? Why would it cause a problem anyway? Look at the size of the hose going into that cooler. It's much smaller than the radiator hose. That means only a very small volume of coolant is flowing into that oil cooler. It doesn't seem likely to significantly affect the cooling system that much.
