take out thermo. and lmk how it runs..
there is a screw on the water outlet of the cylinder head with a gold sticker in front of it it has a copper washer it's an 8mm remove it & coolant will start to come out what you want to do is open the rad cap fill the rad to the top then remove the screw watch the coolant coming out when air stops coming out & it's a solid stream of coolant then replace the screw be careful not to over tighten it then finish filling the rad & your done if after you do this your still running as hot as it was then you have other issues

in the 240sx case. its on the manifold.
gotcha ..
looking for the pic of the gauge i came accross this one if it is running on 210 here it would be on low temp ...but mine (2nd pic) it looks like it running hot

they are 2 different brands with 2 different starting points. one starting point is at 140. the other at 100. one ends at 250 the other 280
ummm they both say autometer...
well i have an auto meter phantom that reads 100 - 250

ok bt u cant compare it to a guage thats different from urs.. if u see the starting point is 140- 280.
edit: all this guage talk and i sireously think. ur problem is not the gauge.

what does it matter if one starts at 100 and the other at 140 if it reads 210 on one gauge and 210 on the other whats the difference?
u said they were different brands, when they are the same brand just a different series

what temp should the car run on? i dont know thats why i go by the gauge usually when the gauge passes half i know its hot ... and mine is 3/4 the way so its passed hot ...im just making sure 210 is the right temp its supposed to be on
