Nismo Vs Std Thermostat

[Kaido_RR]

Hey,

Im replacing my radiator, and i think its a good time to also replace my thermostat. Now im not sure weather i should go for a nismo or just get a std one from nissan.

The only thing i am worried about is that because the nismo one opens at a lower temp, i run the risk of the car running to cool. Im replacing the stf rad with a Trust 48mm think one if that matters.

The car will be seeing track time but is driven on the weekends.

Thanks Michael

I thought the same thing. Was told a lower temp thermostat is terrific and makes the car run much better (by seat of pants feel)

At the same time, you are probably not making optimal power / fuel efficiency until temps are at a certain level.

So by running a lower temp thermo, its going to take you longer to get to the optimal temperature, meaning you'll make less power, drink more fuel, and possibly damaging some part of the engine?

Stock Thermostat opens at 76.5 degrees, nismo opens at 62 degrees.

what is the normal operating temp of an rb25det? 70-80degrees?

ive got one its dam good

Normal operating temp is 80C, just get the standard it wont be of any real world benefit on a mainly street car.

I use a Nismo thermostat in my R34 GTT which does a lot of Supersprints. It made a big difference on the track to keep temps down and I have no problems around town either. Go for it, you won't be disappointed!

I have an ARC which is a 68 deg. on the street the pfc hand controller always shows around 71 deg water temp. Never any issues with it. My water temp sensor is new to

I have the nismo thermerstat and it definatly does reduce the

temp quite a bit. Really noticable in summer the difference in the temp

compared to standard.

+1For Nismo

I have an ARC

Linky linky??

baught it from greenline.jp somewhere arround $90 dellivered. not much more to say on him... its a thermostat that opens at 68 deg...

i had a nismo one until i got it tuned with my PFC. was told the temp was fluctuating to much so it was replaced with a standard issue.

i ended up going with a std nissan one.

thanks for the input

So if you have a PFC the standard one is better?

it's all to do with your car! It would be great for the track and probally not so good for everyday use!

[bumble_bee]

i chuckd in a new std nissan in mine..only coz after i fitted my front mount i noticed my temp went up a tiny bit..

so i tht i'd replace my tehrmo just incase..

anyways i looked at getting a nismo but tht in summer it would be great for any uses..AND BE WORTH IT....

BUT.....

in winter..cold starts...and driving around wit a nismo one would be ugly for city driving...lol

operating temperature would take longer to reach...

and NO it wouldnt do any damage to the engine...

hay Micheal how'd that new rad. go?

any difference????or only on track???wat about on really hot day??if u have exp. one yet....

Ummm......don't understand the logic.

If I change into top gear sooner will my laps time drop?

The radiator and oil cooler does the cooling, the thermostat just isolates the engine from the radiator until it reaches optimal temperature
