Does anyone know where I can purchase a high performance thermostat for my NA KA24DE? I saw a website that listed one but I've searched and can't find the site. Let me know if there other ways to lower cooling temp. I've already got an intake and even flushed my coolant but needle doesn't move down.

The SR Nissmo 160 thermo will work on your KA. Last time I priced it cost was around 75 bucks list. :(

yeah, I'd definately go with the 160 for the SR. The waterjackets are the same, so the thermostat works great.

unfortunately they are increrasingly rare in the US. I paid $70 for my last one.

The auto store thermostats are only 172 degrees, and they don't fit quite right and tend to leak...

You can get them from Jspec.com sometimes or your local dealer who sells Nissmo parts...
