i would buy yourself an aftermarket guage, there are heaps of posts on the accuracy of the stock nissan guage, at least you will have a better idea on the water temp.

yep anywhere from just under half to 3/4 mine goes. This is fine as long as the engine is full of water. Problems occur when at 3/4 temp you start to lose water.
