Mine goes up to 82-84c and stays there even in heavy traffic. 28c air temp. Just put Redline water wetter in and that helps when running at high boost levels, but only made a 4c difference to slow speed running.

do you a low temp termosted in

No, I think not, the car warms up quickly from cold. Was thinking of getting one though.

I recently fitted an induction kit to my gtr and have noticed this has made my car run a little hotter (up from 84 ish to around 90). I hit a big traffic jam and the temp went upto the higher 90's.

This could just coincide with the super hot weather we have been having through.

Nismo stat makes a big difference. Mine used to sit around the 100 mark in traffic. But now with the stat even after spiritied drving never really goes above 80!!!

A good investment IMO. Pretty cheap too for a Nismo product, and the gains it gives!!!
