Message	I had a similar thing happen on my Z, before I pulled the engine and rebuild it, but I think the cause was the freeze plug that was half way out. I doubt a freeze plug would be the issue in your case since you don't beat the living hell out of your Z. Most likely the coolant line to one of the turbos is leaking and having that happen. Buy Zama Posters Here I have nightmares about that happening...I'd be the poor bastard you'd hear about on the news that gets killed by a softball-size chunk while spreading out my body over the hood and screaming "Nooo!"

Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours!
