Yeah, with the new thermostat. When the old one was in it took longer to get to temp and when driving in he mornings during winter the tempts dropped only when on the freeway.

I recommend you test the new thermostat before fitting it as I have had a brand new one fail.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Was it an OEM or aftermarket one?

After market. But I still check any that I have bought since the failure.

Ok, cool. I just remembered. I have two spare ones hiding somewhere. One is brand new, but can't remember whether it's OEM or aftermarket.
The other one is a used one I pulled out from a R31 Skyline from PickaPart few years ago. I just have to find them. 
What is your method of testing them? Is it possible to test them on a bench that they function at the proper temperature rating?!

most would just place in a pot of water and bring them to the boil.
I have a good working OE thermostat here if required???

Just boil some water with the unit in it and watch it open, then close when you take it out. It just lets you know it won't get stuck as you can't pressurise the water to get the temp above 100 degrees.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

I'll see if I can find the ones I'm suppose to have here somewhere. If not, I'll drop in.
