HI, I HOPE THAN YOU CAN HELP ME..

I WANT TO REMPLACE(CHANGE) MY TERMOSTAT(190 F) FOR AN (160 F) ... AND I DONT KNOW WHERE IS MY TERMOSTAT....

WHERE IS LOCATED? IM AN OWNER OF A 240SX 90. .....

AND THERE IS OTHER QUESTION... THE NORMAL TEMP OF THE MOTOR SHOULD BE 179 F ?? may be my car is more hot than usual; because a resistence into the coolant temp sensor at 179f is aprox 300 ohms and the resistence into my coolant temp sensor is 189f.... and the motor feels more hot than usual... =))) help me please. =))

where are you getting this lower temp thermostat. its located on most cars near the radiator hose inlet.

follow the lower rad hose to the block. It should be on the front of the block. I changed my theristat yesterday and had to take my intake out along with the lower rad hose. And..put the lower bolt(10mm) in first, then the top two. Qyestion.......The o ring that goes with the theristat, where does it go?? I went from block,gasket, thermistat, then neck piece. Does the o ring go in front of the theristat??
