Could you post a picture of the black powder maybe by rubbing the dipstick on a clean white paper towel? Almost every new car will have some minor silver / black color residue- Back in highschool, i used to work at one of those quicklube places and have seen the oil come out of 1000+ cars. Virtually every car with less than 10,000 miles will have that.
However, even if the black powder isn't due to your oil overheating, in your case, I would suggest an oil cooler anyway asap. 250F is very high for regular daily driving compared to most other 370Z's espescially if it happens all the time.
