Apparently he is the Fuel System Specialist for Nissan North America and is based around the Chicago area. He has given me his number and we'll be scheduling a test drive on the next hot afternoon so I can demonstrate the overheating issue. He'll be hooking up an engine monitoring system to record the problem.

He expressed that NO dealers have reported this issue to them at the Nissan North America headquarters. Thus, he's very interested in documenting the problem. I'll let everyone know what happens once I meet with him on our next hot day.
Could you bring every document from every magazine that states the car over heats?

Print out documents from different websites also that state it.

Soon as i get time i will try to search them out for you and link them, i am a tad bit busy right now but maybe by tonight i can get it done

And the Edmunds Inside Line long term test blog entry that says:

"Back in November we ran our first Full Test of a 2009 Nissan 370Z. That test car was a short term loan, it was red, and, unlike our long-term test car, it wore aftermarket, Nissan developed oil and differential coolers. During extreme usage, especially track use, oil gets hot. If the VQ in our 370Z senses things getting too hot-- which can happen in as little as 10 minutes-- it sends the car into limp-home mode limiting revs to only 5,500. Limiting this car to 5,500 is like limiting Barry Bonds to bunting, we've never experienced limp-home mode, but we never want to. "If you plan on doing any track driving" our contact at Nissan said, "you'll need one."

Complaints or no, they know it's an issue.

You would have to buy extra ink for the printer. But your idea is an excellent one!
