I wasn't sure so I got the FSM off the shelf to check before I posted. I had heard that they are the exact same part from Nissan from people as KA guys use the SR performance Themos with lower temps(Nismo, Billion, ect.).

At atmospheric pressure. You have to remember you have the radiator cap boosting the pressure in the system to 11-14psi. Effectively boosting the boiling point. Putting a 300zx 16psi cap will raise the boiling point even more. Also, why when you are over heating you don't want to relieve the pressure. Water will flash boil in the head.
