ok pulled out the old thermostat, and it seens as thou a gaskey had come out !!! but the thing is the new thermostat fits flush with the slot??? was this an actually gasket or was it some old gasket glue??

if there was a gasket wouldnt it have come with the new thermostat?

From the factory there is no gasket, Nissan use a sealer (3-Bond).

Isn't halfway on the gauge the normal operating temp? Whereabouts were you expecting it to go to indicate normal? Seems ok to me...?
