Curtis, My oil temp also hit 260 on that part of the run but from what I've read limp mode does not kick in until 280 degrees.

I made it, but was VERY disappointed in the oil temp. I have been hearing of oil temp rising in Los Angles traffic at rush hour and just out climbing small mountains. I have all along intended on getting an oil cooler, now I just confirmed it not only in my Z34 but also my bro’s red Z34 also climbed to near limp mode. The incline was not even that steep, it was gradual but a fast gradual if you know what I mean. Probably about a 6% incline in about 2 miles.
The blue Z34 is Tong's (TongMan)
