I've replaced the thermostat (checked before installation) and the water pump in my '02 and still have no flow( top rad hose is cold/no warm air from heater) and I'm overheating rapidly. I obviously still have a blockage somewhere, but thermostat and water pump channels were clean as a whistle. Any ideas??

Have to be a pretty serious obstruction.....if the thermostat is opening...the water pump may shot.
i had the same problem, i put 2 thermostats on and replaced the water pump and it was still over heating in minutes. Make sure you get all the air out of the coolant system. All i had was a big air bubble. As soon as i got all the air out, coolant got through and my car has stayed cool ever since. Good luck i know its a huge headache, this happened to me 2 weeks after i bought my Z.
