Running a cooler temp could foul the plugs in the long run if you idle/city drive alot.

 

This mod. cannot affect the fully OPEN temp. of the stock thermostat which is what really controls the operating temp. of the engine. AND on the VQ30 which has the coolant control valve (which controls coolant flow through the block) and which starts to open about the time that the thermostat is fully open, also governs/controls the max. operating temp. of the engine.

 

Good writeup, thx for the DYI link, Nmex!
