Is it forced induction? I'm guessing it had to be causing it to over heat. With mine I installed a thermostat from a g37 that opens 10 degrees sooner than the oem for the z and went an oversized radiator and a vent hood... Did you blow a head gasket and damage anything? heads?

After going back to them for 3 more weeks it came back mid December. Over Christmas the shop owner fired the only guy that knew what he was doing and decided he was going to do all the work with a couple green assistants. It took him months to get it running right and for his friend to tune it. I had it home for a couple weeks and was on my way to Sebring for a track day when I got off the interstate on to a busy highway and stopped at a light in crazy traffic and the temps started flying up. By the time I could get it out of the road it died, the engine was done because of a leak in the radiator. I have it at a new shop now and so far they have their act together.
