Message	1) Was your "half-full" reference referring to the OE overflow tank, or an aftermarket one such as the Moroso? Obviously that *volume* of coolant can vary significantly depending on the actual tank that's being used. 2) Was your last section on "operating temperature" attempting to make a case FOR or AGAINST a lower temperature thermostat? I was just wondering because for myself I'm still running an OE thermostat and had not previously been convinced that switching (to something like the Nismo one) is necessarily a "good" thing to do. Thanks! PS - it was nice meeting you at ZCON last week. (met you at the car show in the morning). Z-Jay Vice President - Edmonton Z Car Club 93 300ZX TT - Stage VI
