Message	- Get a Nismo Thermostat. I am an "oem" guy when it comes to T-stat, but the nismo one should help you out a lot. It opens about 20 F earlier than the OEM one - I also 2nd what mixman said, run about 70/30mix water to coolant. Coolant in itself doesnt "flow" as well as water, and can actually cause engines to overheat if the % is too high. -E85 also helps cool the engine down(if you're setup for it) - get an aftermarket water temp gauge. The OEM needle usually has 3 settings( COLD, normal, and it's too late). I definitely wouldnt rely on the OEM gauge.

Greg at SZ - MixManMash 06:02:55 08/20/20 Did you pressure check the system? - ZXoltan 06:54:03 08/21/20 Re: Did you pressure check the system? - KA8 09:54:49 08/21/20 Again, did you pressure check the system... - ZXoltan 13:42:23 08/21/20 Recently saw mention of a GKTech Fan blade, anyone know more - nissubaru 21:46:52 08/19/20 Interesting... Could be a bonus for those with cracked OEMs. (n/m) - KevinsFairlady 10:55:53 08/20/20 Make sure your aux fan is functional. - Doug71zt(CAN) 18:49:52 08/20/20 Re: Make sure your aux fan is functional. - KA8 09:57:58 08/21/20 Isn't the OEM gauge & sensor highly non-linear, with - black300zx 08:13:24 08/21/20 Exactly this. (n/m) - Barry(TN) 09:26:48 08/21/20 True. I'd hook up Datascan and actually measure coolant - MixManMash 12:46:38 08/21/20 How accurate is the gauge sensor/sender? - ZXoltan 15:36:25 08/21/20 Data scan reads the ECU sensor not the dash gauge sensor. (n/m) - itsa300zx 16:31:30 08/21/20 Makes sense. But how accurate is that sensor? (n/m) - ZXoltan 16:42:51 08/21/20 Considering the ECU makes decisions on that sensor, it's - MixManMash 17:33:07 08/21/20 Plenty. It reads in single digits. (n/m) - Bernie (NoVA) 23:24:30 08/23/20 Good to know. thank you sirs. - ZXoltan 10:24:46 08/24/20 Because the dash gauge is non linear. It displays an ok zone (n/m) - Bernie (NoVA) 13:45:22 08/24/20 I hacked mine with an Arduino uno for fun - black300zx 16:21:36 08/25/20
