First track experience today ! Some good, some really bad

Hopefully someone can chime in and help you out. Here is an exert from Edmunds review:

If you're someone who does track days, you'll be interested in the optional Sport package with its bigger tires and bigger brakes. You might also be interested in the special Nismo parts fitted to this test car, an engine oil cooler and an oil cooler for the limited-slip rear differential. The engine's extreme output has made it more sensitive to oil temperature, we understand, so if you're looking for the ability to reach redline throughout a long track session on a warm day, the Nismo bits are a good thing to have (especially since there was even serious discussion about making them a part of the Sport option).

The 370z and g37 has oil overheating issues if driven hard on a track. I believe what you think is an oil cooler is the powersteering cooler. I also think the tires will grip better once you have driven at least 500 miles.
