nope... the VH uses a HUGE 2.5" diameter thermostat.. just buy an OEM nissan one, its under 30 bucks, and it keeps the VH at its designed operating temperature.
I bought a brand new oem stat, and drilled a 1/4" hole where the bleeder jiggle valve was, topped it off with coolant, and squeezed the bottom hose to push any extra air out of the coolant galleys, i can hand bleed the engine in 5 seconds..
i'm running a 12" x 18" dual pass dual core tucked radiator, and i have had ZERO overheating problems. (over all dimensions is like 12"x24") this is in a S13 btw, not a Q45.
