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.

2:12's on a cooler day on a '12 + will be OK. Once your times start to drop below 2:06ish, yeah you will hit limp mode no problem, even on an overcast day.

It's really just a decision you have to make depending on like you mentioned, how many days and how hard are you going to go.
