I have no interest in having our 370Z's engine overheat because at that point I will get rid of it. I would put an oil cooler on today, but I am not quite happy with the current solutions—including Nissan's and would much rather go along the lines of the Fluidyne Ultralite, but again, I do not want to hassle with Nissan or some Service Department idiot trying to explain to me how I voided a warranty because of Nissan's issue in the first place (small claims court is much better at handling this situation). Time-is-of-the-essence...summer is fast upon us.

Remember that the issue is that the upper rev limits are being reduced at a certain temperature point, there is no evidence of damage to the engines or engines shutting down. For all we know the 350Z does the same thing but just doesn't have the protection circuit built in. If your wife is going over 6500 RPMs with her parents in the car, she's probably shortening their lives as it is!
