As long as you are driving as hard as I am, you will over heat this thing, its just a matter of time. I'm ok, now, but by the end of a 30 minute session, I am already at 280F, especially if I'm paddle shifting, then it happens much sooner.
I would love to get a GTR, so my skill can continue to improve, but used car prices are rediculous right now. 70K for an '09? With that weak tranny?  Corvettes are similarly over priced too. |
With the ER OC oil temps are consistently below 130°C on my car, even when tracking in hot summer temps. Much better then with stock + AR OC.
In my case water temps have become the culprit. So I will now add the Performance Power Kit radiator to "buy some time" on the track. I'll see how much this helps next spring/summer.
Yes, overheating the tranny seems to be a common problem on the GTR. And having no warranty when tracking a GTR may get real expensive...
