My engine temp gauge never reaches the mid way point between the "C" and "H" markers like it should. Image here: https://ibb.co/jDN46vJ

Now i know this means the engine is running cooler than it should be and this has some performance implications but should i still get this looked at or just let it go because of how minor the issue is?

Factory temperature gauges are notoriously useless.
If you want to know what's going on fit an aftermarket coolant temp or EGT gauge.

Welcome to the forum. Nissan gauges are more like guidelines than rules. Borrow a handheld thermal gauge and check the actual temp.

Mine gets to operating temperature and then never moves .. my OBD2 link with the ipad shows the temperature ranging from 88 degrees in winter up to 92 (in mid summer with aircon going full blast and 45 degrees outside. Like the others say, the temp gauge is pretty useless .. if want accurate then either install a proper gauge and/or use OBD2 link. You can also check your boost pressure and airflow too :-)
