Oh, to add one quick thing, as an alternative to the modified t-stat........

A 350z t-stat from nissan is DIRT cheap, they also make a nismo one for the 350Z that is even cooler, either can be used on the vq35 fwd by simply using a 4th gen lower rad hose (on 4.5 & 5.5 gens), either of these t-stats will drop your temps quite a bit from the fwd t-stat but still have the benefit of allowing your engine to reach operating temp faster and reduce internal wear as oposed to modifying the t-stat to stay open.
