This N54 is HOT! Literally....

Hello All,
Just wondering if my engine temps are normal. It was 85*F today and after driving for a bit, the car was idling around 240*F. The car seems to never go past 250*F (even after several 3rd/4th pulls). My buddy with a 300zxTT couldnt believe how hot my oil was getting, but ive come to accept that this is normal with the N54?

What would you assume to be the normal operating range for this engine, realistically? 200-250*F? I live in Florida, so its always hot :angry-banghead: When is the temperature dangerous? Past 250? I just seem to ALWAYS get to 230-240 really quick, and stick to that temperature. Two pulls and im at 245*F. Never go past 250, but rarely drop below 220-230-ish.

Just afraid that my water pump is pooping out on me :facepalm

Thanks,
E

PS- On a side note, when it was idling near 240*F the engine nearly stalled itself, dropped to about 300 RPM and then jumped to 1,500RPM to compensate, then the Procede acted like it was restarted and showed me my current map (flashed up to Map 2). Didnt happen again.
