Nissan's been pretty good about my options, so I can get the upgrade if I want. I dunno why I have to change the badge though... ( Click to show/hide

In all seriousness, Nissan may appear to have their thumbs jammed up their arse, but the response they give is just about what is expected. The general community will not push the Z to the point where oil coolers become necessary. We have debated this time and again, and the break point for Nissan in the cost of the car just means that those seeking to really get on the throttle and push it on the track will need to seek alternative sources of cooling. So it's not worth the money for Nissan to go back and retrofit the 2009-2011 model year cars, as it is not classified as a catastrophic failure mode.

Too bad there aren't any limp modes to protect the engine from grenading its pistons

Long fixed, and mostly due to superlean high boost tunes.
