'96 infiniti i30 overheating issue

[jwpayso]

Brief overview: '96 infiniti i30 after about 30-1hours time temp. needle is climbing to reading H as hot as it can read. when it gets to this point; theres no smoke, no change in the way it drives, and no leaks, or loss of coolant. Fans are working properly, and A/C works fine, but when its on it climbs to Hot faster then if it was off.

im new, and recently posted a similar problem. since then i have taken my car two places. a trusted friend, and a new person. my question is does anyone have any info on where my thermostat is located, and if i need to take off the timing chain and the water pump to get to it?? Also the new mechanic gave me this info and said i would probly need to replace the water pump and thermo. i kno the thermostat is only like 10 bucks and another mechanic (a trusted friend) told me that it is easy to replace the new thermo. and didnt mention anything about a water pump and timing chain. could someone help me please. i just need some info on this issue. Especially if the thermostat is connected through the timing chain and water pump, as the new mechanic said. ANY INFO WILL HELP !! Thanks
