Does seem a little high, but wow where do you start.

1) what oil are you using

2) How old and how many k's has it done

3) do you drive teh car regularly or does it sit in the garage for weeks

4) what's the road like? freeway and sitting on 3500rpm for an hour, suburban stop start, backstreet hill climb course.

5) did it get back down if you took it easy and dropped the revs

There could be a heap of reasons not related to a "fault" so rule those out first.

Also again way too many unknown's but most good oil is fine up to around 130deg.

How far off is 150 compared to where it normally sits for you?

Oil cooler would easily get that down.

I have the same issue . I have a r33 gtr. Completely stock.

Oils temp goes up to 130-140 and increasing - if I just cruise at 120kph on freeway for any extended period.

So I have to back off to 100kph. Which is frustrating.

I use top grade motul. Car is driven 1-2 times per month.

What is wrong with it- as I'm using it as standard and sure this should not be happening

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
