I'm not gonna be involve in the possible war on this subject !

all I'm saying will be, there is a reason why Nissan decided to configure the ECU to reduce power starting at 220F and put a big limiter at 260F

It is relatively fine if using a good oil but not optimal.
As for oil starvation, the risk are low/very low. its far to be like those GM engine though !!!

i knew about the 260+ limp mode, but didnt know about the power reduction at 220, if thats the case that sucks cause after just a warm up lap our oil is at 220 LOL even with my huge 34 row oil cooler (with shrouding) and CSF radiator LOL. im trying out another radiator next event, but i think im going to end up needed a second oil cooler core if i gotta stay under 220 for full power
