I have read other reports of o-ring failures since my incident.
On the note about a motor, I've been monitoring mine via blackstone labs. I have a pre incident sample and an post sample already processed. It's due for a second oil change this weekend. Once I have that report, I'm gonna post them here. So far blackstone indicates no out of the ordinary metals. I'm monitoring the sodium levels as they got a bit high. This might have been something in the oil cooler or lines but I'm reserving judgement until the next sample. |

I think the hardest pill to swallow, is that they offered him a gift card and not even an offer to cover his Black-Stone oil sample reviews. If they really wanted to right this wrong like Mike said, they would have covered all costs no questions asked. Christ, they admitted the OP had a faulty o-ring in the plate! What if his engine would have blown? A GIFT CARD!?

I will never let anyone I care about use Mishimoto products after seeing their thermostat fail on a good friends motor, causing it to blow. He sold the car and retired from the modding scene. I also had their thermostat fail, but I was more fortunate and didn't loose the motor. <br />
Mishimoto is on the left w/ 4k miles on it, Stock unit is on right w/ 6k miles on it........... as you can see the O-ring seal is already gone on the mishimoto while the stock unit looks fine. QUALITY matters.<br />  <br /><br /> Forums are here to inform, throw some truth at the readers!<br/> sent from my Note 3

Wow just got done reading through this thread. I'm a Apache Maintenance test pilot at Fort Rucker AL. We had a helicopter crash about 7 months ago. Everybody was blaming bad hydraulic fluid (which is ******** because of the filtering process on the bird). Well turned out to be a bad Oring. Our control servo's are made by parker. Not talking **** because these same servo's and orings have been on these helo's for 20 plus years. This was the first incident with a oring failure on these servo's. **** happens, and while it did take them a while to replace to oring in the end they tried to make it right. I don't own any of their products.

Sooooo.. I just got my Z and I live in VERY hot Vegas.. I plan on doing track days soon and have been considering what radiator thermostat and oil cooler to go with. When I buy parts I tend to use all the same brand. (Suspension all Tein etc.) I was really considering a mishimoto complete cooling set up buuuuuuut after doing some research and finding this thread I think I will be going a different route. Any suggestions for a oil cooler, radiator, performance thermo, and intake/air filter set up? Affordable suggestions? lol..
and sorry about your experience bro...Cars cost way too much to be compensated with "gift cards" .. but thank you for this thread it helps save some of us the heart and wallet ache.. |

I got the Z1 34 row oil cooler. The new 3 row CSF rad sdould be good addition. Try a vented hood if you still think the engine is still too hot. I also got the Stillen 3G CAI. Also upgrade your brake system if you are planning to track.

W0W! This thread is still kick'n. LOL! Fawk'n sH!++y-M0to...
Well for oil cooler I suggest the Nissan Motorsports one due to the CNC oil filter plate. It comes w/a nice C-trob oil cooler as well as big fat AN lines. It costs $$$ though....  Radiator any full AL one will due...so CSF is the only one avail presently? K0Y0 is late to the game... Thermostat...I believe the OEM one to be fine. Unless u'r a track car... Intake set-up...I have no Xperience/suggestion...since can't open source tune this platform as of present... |
