370Z May, 2009, sales lowest since launch......

I have a feeling that some of these people that are trashing the car are just trying to make themselves feel better over whatever reason that is truly holding them back from owning one.

I'm sure many people that are complaining about oil temp will never track the car and if Nissan didn't put an oil temp. gauge on the car then these people would never know that this "problem" exists.

My guess is that the 2010's will have an oil pressure gauge to replace the oil temp gauge. That will really freak out the paranoidals.

I was going to say the same thing. Removing the gauge may just fix the problem. They could put in one of those silly g-force gauges that my Sentra Spec-V had. The needle on that thing never moved.

I'd put money on that too!

BMW caved, addressed and fixed the issue. Nissan was slow on some issues on the 350 as well, the worst the rev ups oil consumption issue, people had to really get on them.

I hit 260+ on a test drive. Yes, I live in AZ. Nissan has a test track here, so something needs to be done. I drove the Z on my test drive like I drive normally and to see it shoot up so quickly was disconcerting.

It's an amazing car and nothing like it for the money, kudos to those enjoying theirs. I would like to see the oil issue addressed before pulling the trigger.
