First track experience today ! Some good, some really bad

Thanks for confriming that the 370z needs an oil cooler.

Just a note to the OP:

When your oil temp gets "buried" at 300+ degrees, its might be a good idea to slow down! We don't want to see "the first blow engine" thread anytime soon.

Again it really pisses me off that Nissan knows this is an issue.

LOL... As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I ended my runs earlier almost every time b/c of the overheating... once the oil hit 300, the rev limiter kicked in aggressively and I'm not sure I could've blown the engine at that point if i wanted to... but I agree, the last thing any of us need is to blow an engine when we should be spending that money on coilovers

... thanks for your note
