If the bottom radiator hose is cold and the top hose is hot, that's a good indication of a plugged up radiator as long as the thermostat is open.

You indicated that the thermostat was replaced. Did you install a Nissan OEM unit or some aftermarket unit like a Stant. Aftermarket unit are known to cause overheating problems.

Also when installing the thermostat, make sure the 'steam hole' is on the top.
