OEM thermostat stuck closed after 4 months. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey all, my car started overheating on the way home from work yesterday. Pulled over, popped the hood, no leaks at all. The lower hose was stone cold, which is a textbook symptom of a thermostat stuck closed.

The thing that pisses me off is that this is an OEM thermostat that i bought 4 months ago from my local dealership. I got it cause the cheapo O'Reilly stat (came on the car) also got stuck closed. Has anyone ever heard of a factory thermostat failing so fast?

Just for clarity, i have a stock KA24DE, 1992.
