test the thermostat with a heat gun to see if it is operating properly then check for cold spots on the radiator, water pump might be bad...

Did you install a Nissan OEM thermostat rather then some aftermaket piece of junk. If not, that may be your reason for overheating.

the thermostat is an esential part of your car. just removing it doesnt fix the problem. id put a new thermostat in if removing it fixed your overheating problem
