Lower Temp Thermostat.

Lower Temp Thermostat.
There is a possibility there is a lower temp Thermostat for our cars. At courtesy Nissan on their website there is a Nismo Thermostat that opens up at 144 degrees versus the 170 degrees the Autozone/Advanced Autoparts/Oreilly's etc. It is 55 bucks without shipping but Im going to get the 1988 300zx Non turbo one. It should fit without a problem. If it goes well, I will update you all here.

It is in F. I thought so too. I have a 170 one in mine now. Waiting to get the money for the Nismo one that opens up at 144 F. 5 Years ago they use to have more variety. A low temp, mid temp and then a high temp for our cars at the Parts stores, now its just this 170 F one and I think that bites.

i would think 170 is the high temp...i always wondered why the car got so hot and then cooled way down after a while...
i know i have seen cooler thermostats arround they werent nismo but you didnt pay the nismo price to...i'll check it out later
