Just wondering if anyone makes a slightly colder thermostat for Tb42's?

I ahve a manual that says there are 3 but i rang Nissan and they only have the 82 degree one.

Cheers

2 of the aftermarket companys called Tridon and Stant I believe only make them in 82 degrees. Part numbers ST47-180 for the Stant and TT332-180 for Tridon. There is no listings of an others in their Catalogue Guides.

Cheers.....i was hoping some1 would make a cooler one!!!!

I do have a Nissan genuine thermostat that opens at 76... I just bought it few wheeks ago...but its bought in Europe...;-(

Cut the guts out of it and it will run cooler.

yeah the tb42 really needs a cooler therm. the temp sits to high as it is just on the verge of operating the clutch in the ffan all the time. Its a right pain in the arse.

Maybe we get Gabriel to import some for us!! I wonder why cold Europe gets the good ones!!

Nissan Parts supplied me with a 76.5 degree genuine Nissan one.
Can't give you part number, I cleaned out the garage and threw the box out yesterday.

Can you tell me which nissan dealer u went to?

the rd28, rb30 and td42 all come with 76.5 degree thermostats, the only listing for the tb42 is a 82 degree thermostat

I used to be without a thermostat.
it was good when the temp was cold but once it got hot it stayed hotter for longer.
i have an 82 degree in mine and i have the twin thermos come on at half way.
Works great and i have an override switch for going on the beach or uphill with a trailer on.

I got mine from National Capital Motors, in Belconnen ACT.
Mine's a Diesel, but not a factory turbo, just an aftermarket, so whether that makes any difference I don't know.
I know they asked for a VIN number to ensure they were supplying the correct part.

"the rd28, rb30 and td42 all come with 76.5 degree thermostats, the only listing for the tb42 is a 82 degree thermostat"

Is the thermostat housing the same for a tb42 as any of the above???

i had a problem with a commodore one, tried a few different temps to no avil, merchanic then just drilled a few holes into it to allow a bit more flow, but keepin the rate slower than what no themo at all would be, as it dosnt have enough time to cool the water if it flows to quick.

I have done the same thing

I had this done on a vl turbo i used to have seemed to do the trick, but when i spoke to repco and they qouted me $50 for a thermostat i might leave it.

The tb42 uses so wierd looking dual stage thermostat. So I cant imagine there being many different versions. I brought mine from repco or autopro recently and they didnt even ask what temp I wanted.

THE PART NUMBER YOU NEED IS 2120003J00 76.5DEC.

thats the japanese GQ part number, it doesnt list on my computer as being available

Can anyone confirm this?

Or are the after market (Tridon) 82 degree ones just as good in terms of flow as Nissans?

I called into a Nissan parts yesterday and they have none (thermostat) in Australia at all! Two weeks for it to arrive.
