New thermostat: result

This is more of an FYI than a question but I did think it worthy to mention:

I swapped out my stock 180F thermostat along with a brand new thermostat upper and lower housing in the Z yesterday. The new thermostat I put in is rated at 160F. As a result my temp needle which used to roam between the "M" and "P" of our temp guage during these past few weeks of SoCal 90F heat now is locked and will not move from between the "T" and "E". I am surprised that a 20F difference in thermostat temperature would make that big of a difference in our temp guage but then again seeing just how poor the rest of Nissan wiring is on our cars... who knows, right?

:stupid:
