Does anyone know what temp. the thermostat is set to open on a 95 RB25DET? My power FC read up to 95C on the race track(cool day), and I was wondering if that was too high?

Don't know if this willl help, but i have a microtech on my RB25DET powered silvia, and its normal running temperature is 92C.
So 95C sounds about right to me

thermo opens at 80'C
if you flog it on a race track it will go up quickly.
Road cars: only do 3 hard laps at a time then 2 laps to cool it down( and your brakes) any more than 3 hard laps in a production car is just bad karma... your engine and brakes will shit themselves if you want to go harder buy a race car
keep an eye on the temp if it goes above 105 you are prety much at metltdown and this is bad
just my 3 cents worth, my car is still in one peice and the only time when i broke something was when i didn't cool something down long enough...(brakes)
