Well, I had to put down my z in the pastures last week. It was a sad day. 4000 miles on sc/oil cooler, off the shelf tune.. Just stopped running while going up a hill 20mph. No warning, no boom, no smoke, no leak, no CE light, nothing...
Afr guage running safe

Took it into the shop and found two cylinders blown. Engine had no oil and coolent.

Appearantly the oil cooler stopped working at some point and two of six overheated.

I never ran the car hard, never tracked...THE FUNNY THING IS OIL TEMP NEVER WENT OVER THE NORMAL RANGE?!

Was gonna cost too much to fix it, so I made a decision to sell it for salvage.

I have to say, not very happy with what happened with the stillen set up...

Anyone else with similar experience?
