Air bubble around temp sensor, bad temp sensor, or (not unheard of at all) another bad tstat…?
You could also try a heater bypass and check to see if the temp gauge still fluctuates.

Did you get a tstat from advance?
i replaced mine with a AAP in teh 240… then was almost over heating… i just went and got a oem one from nissan. same thing with my truck…
Or
i think it sounds like a bad temp sensor like Lyndon said…

OEM Tstat as of a few weeks ago, temp sensors typically throw a code when they go, I may have to check to see if I can find their resistance value and test it.

Update: Datalogged the car yesterday and it gets to 170 degrees and just stays there for a bit. 170 degrees seemed low, but I double checked and that is the OE temp for the car.
Shot the blog with a infrared thermometer and the block was at ~184 degrees on top of the block which also seemed proper.
It still seems like an air bubble issue so I’ll see if I can weed it out of there to be absolutely sure.

this would help you “squeeze” out the bubbles if you have any

that would add more air to it , best way is to jack the nose of the car up with cap off fill and run for a while with cap off add as neccasary

as its runnin the water pump will fill the coolant liners and air is pushed to the top ,with the cap off and front end lifted the highest point is the cap so air will be expelled out of there

Dude Subby’s are a cocksucker to bleed… I have this thing  which you can get here: [http://www.matcotools.com/Catalog/toolcatalog.jsp?cattype=T&cat=2125&page=13](http://www.matcotools.com/Catalog/toolcatalog.jsp?cattype=T&cat=2125&page=13)
It essentially raises the highest point in the system up.
Did a timing belt and water pump on a subby the other week and even with that thing it was a cunt.

I’d like one myself.
I was looking to get the raised point funnel for a while. I actually couldn’t get it through the tool catalog.
