yea i think i might have a related problem, when i am pressing gas, the temp needle will go down to near cold, but once i get back to a steady rev then it goes to normal. i just replaced the thermstat not too long ago. air in the system hmmm. ill check mine get any air out if so.

its better running cool than running overheating
Have you checked your sensor on your intake manifold? I've seen a lot of S13's Temp sensors going bad lately, mine did as well.
The steam is a sign of a blown Headgasket. Was it hot long enough to blow a headgasket? how old is the gasket in there now? Electric fans from a 2nd gen maxima work nicely (thats what im using) a little modification required, but atleast that way you know your fans are on regaurdless of the Temp gauge's shananagans. Goodluck, hope its not your HG!
