Default Your engine temp

Where is everyone's temp needle when the car is fully warmed up?

I wounder this because mine is barely above the first line except when is like 80+ out?

And in the winter its like exactly on the line

I have a 94 gsr if it matters..

i've got a 94 gsr as well and when fully warmed up, the needle reads right below the half way point......my friend's 97 gsr used to read low just like yours, but the dealer said this was normal and there should be nothing to worry about, he beat the **** out of his car too and nothing ever went wrong with it so I think you are ok....

Mine does the same thing...stays near C for hours at a time when it's cold outside, but goes halfway when it's really hot outside. I wouldn't exactly call this "normal" since knowing whether or not my engine is up to temperature is pretty important to me. I've been told that there's a problem with my cooling system. I'm changing out my thermostat, thermo switch, and coolant soon. I will get back to you on whether or not that solves anything.

Mine warms up within 5 minutes of driving. I live in Socal, weather is hot as f**k here.

When it's fully warmed up, the needle stays 40% of the needle sweep. My friend's LS is at about 38%.

My POS gets overheated about 75% when I get stuck in LA traffic. I need to step on it and drive about 60-70 mph to cool it down to 50%. I need to get rid of my POS.

when i had my stock gauges in the temp needle used to go up about 25%, then i put in JDM ITR gauges and it now goes up to around 45%, or just a bit below half way mark. Our climate is generally cold and the needle is up at its highest point within about a mile of starting from cold, and i never push it above 4400rpm until the needle is at its highest point

I forgot to mention that my radiator fan doesn't work right, either. When I turn on my A/C (which turns on my compressor fan), the temps start descending down to something "normal".
