Sounds like it should be rising above dead center according to your notes.

Keep us posted what your temps go down to when you do a new radiator. Also, let me know what radiator you decide to go with and if it was an "EASY DROP IN" affair. That's my next upgrade on the cooling list of items is a bigger radiator.

I wander if the NISMO thermostat (opens at 154 F) is even a good idea (if you don't wire fans to kick on earlier) with a bigger radiator and oil cooler in place. Also, I always wandered if the lower thermostat just "stays" open and water doesn't really get to spend any real time in the radiator to get a good "heat cycle".

At 240 I would say your stock gauge should start to be climbing, but I don't know for sure. I will definitely let you know, I am waiting on an answer of which to get and how much it'll cost, because it is going to be changed a little bit to make it an easy drop in since one didn't exist for the G just yet. I will also be getting an oil cooler as well as a thermostat most likely.
