Like sonic370 said previously, Nissan cost cutted any type of oil cooling so they thought well we better show the poor customer how hot his oil is becoming w/no sandwich plate cooler.
:icon18: he he he! F**K You Nissan! :icon23:

99% of OEM oil pressure gauges are slow and inaccurate, aftermarket is far better. :tup:

TPMS is complete BS and waste of $$$$. This was standardized on passenger vehicles thanks to all the lazy asses that can't check their tire pressure once a month.

Also a cheap Ford Focus comes with the blind spot mirrors and other low end cars have the blind spot indicators which is a standard safety feature. But Nissan...NO!!!!! :shakes head:

My Jeep Cherokee has oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, Transmision temp, tire pressure on each tire and alternator voltage.

Perhaps Nissan assumes that people who buy Z's know how to drive.

My 1984 F-150 has a fuel gauge. It's very cool.

but once you have individual TPMS readouts, its hard to give them up

The 2006 350z Had a read out for each tire.

Heck just driving to work will make them climb without oil cooler here in Houston.

yea but all that money you spent on the car is going into the advanced structure, aluminum panels, hyper advanced DOHC engine, safety equipment and development...

oh wait, the focus has a lot those too^

Repped because you made me laugh! :roflpuke2: the only assumption that is safe to make with the general public, is that they are all retarded dumb a$$ who don't know there a$$ from their elbow!

In trade school a lot of the jokes well "shouldn't that code rule be common sense?" answer was always "if people had common sense you wouldn't rules and laws" and then you wouldn't see 90-99% of the crap that goes on! But as you all know theres dumb a$$ out there on a daily basis
