And the Mishimoto thermostat is a good way to blow up your motor. If you've got to buy their rotting garbage masquerading as car parts, at the very least don't buy parts that will make your car go boom when they fail like a thermostat or anything related to the oiling system. Those assclowns could **** up a bowling ball.

Mishimoto thermostat bashers
I have had Mishimoto thermostats in 2 Z's - a 2007 and a 2011 both of which were/are raced frequently. No issues. If/when I change up to a cooler radiator I may blow the $ on a Nismo part but until then the Mishimoto works just fine. And for any bashers of the part - how about a pointer to a real URL for a problem not just anecdotal comments??? IE if the problem happened to you then that is evidence, if you heard about it somewhere that is not evidence...

The OEM Nissan thermostat is cheaper than Mishimoto. As far as experience, why not ask O&G how his looked when he took it out? Or his buddy, who lost a motor when his failed shut? Or the guy here who dumped all his oil on the road because their sandwich plate failed?
