Sounds to me like you've got it figured out!  Your mileage sounds ok, if
not good.  But it can effect it, because the computer controls the engine
differently during warm-up compared to full-temp.

Replace the thermostat with a genUine Nissan one (they're a little pricey,
probably $10 but worth it.)  Seal 'er up with blue sillycone, and burp the
air per the instructions in the owner's manual or FSM.
