I had an '09 Z and on autoclub it went into limp mode towards the end of the day. it was a trooper for a few heats in the morning.

I now have a 20012 model and since the 2012 models came with an "oil cooler" Nissan claims, I am wondering how it will work at autoclub. I know an aftermarket Oil Cooler is better. I am a casual track day guy, 3-4 times a year. Do about a 2:12 around autoclub. Nothing crazy.
