sometimes you do get bad thermostats but it sounds as though it is circulating from what your saying, the top and bottom hoses should be hot, youd maybe feel a blocked radiator by slowly feeling down it and feeling if any of the passageways feel blocked and are cold, if the coolant all of a sudden rises right up in the bottle it could be air in the system still, the fact that the fans are kicking in and out sounds like it is at least cooling it, but as i said if its overheating and the fans are kicking out you have to wonder whether what the temp sensor is telling it and whats really happening are true, hopefully autodata will tell me what resistance you should expect at hot and cold

Sorry to hear that the Zs is looking like it is going to be a pain to track down the issue...

going back to your fisrt post, i can't remember if i had water wetter put in mine or not, or whether it just had a fresh batch of coolant once the mapping was dropped back.

From my understanding tho, most the time it should not make enough difference to make noticable difference in day to day driving..
