TD42 - All Variants Aussie Water Thermostats
G’day NP.com.au!
In regards the seemingly only marketed OEM 76C water thermostat for TD42’s has anybody trialled higher or lower aftermarket settings?
My nuffy understandings are most global diesel engines in general prefer between low 80’s to high 80’s stock vehicular recommendations?
EDIT: Been searching for way too long now trying to find Nissan’s advised operating old donk temps to no avail :-(

Thanks JFF45 mate!
Since finally replacing the 17YO radiator with a new OEM last summer we haven’t been able to get it over 100C even under the most demanding 40+ambient temperature conditions too.
Admittedly it is 95% stock power and 100% stock cooling system, including the plastic air dam underneath.
Main issue here for us in frigid temps this winter has been getting the heater hotter as it sits cruising flat at exactly 76C and I believe it should be healthier running too up in the mid 80’sish.
EDIT: Meant to say only a mere 5% maybe 10% above stock power due to 3” exhaust and a whisker more fuel done.
