Limp Mode
OK so everyone knows I have a sickness when it comes to modding so I have another question....I noticed that Forgedperformance has an oil pan spacer for the G37. Could this possibly help the car fight the limp mode by keeping oil cooler on our track days??? It goes for $199.00

Doubt it will help the limp mode problem.. But the oil pan spacer will put I believe and extra quart of oil in you motor witch is a great thing when your pushing your car... Just make sure when you install it that all of the bolts are torqued down to the reccommended specs.. Last thing you want is an oil leak... Those suck big time

Probably the single biggest help would be if Stillen(or someone else) releases an oil cooler for the G37. I emailed them about it and got a generic response about how they don't have one right now but may in the future.

Sounds good....if you can make one and track it with no limp mode then we will know for sure....at this point, nobody can say for sure if the oil cooler will do the trick. I've called Technosquare and Tadashi had no idea either. I'd definately buy a kit from you if it works out.

They're fairly easy to make and a lot cheaper than application specific oil cooler kits. However you've got to take on all of the engineering work yourself to get it to work.

Hrrrrmmm... I can't imagine the ECU shutting it down just because of lots of high revs and hard braking. Limp mode is usually some sort of safety device to protect the powertrain/drivetrain. One of the sensors has to trigger this.
If we already have an oil cooler, maybe it's not up to the task of serious track use. Maybe it's something even more simple like coolant temps, and we just need a low temp t-stat.
