I was having the same problem. I replaced the thermostats and that did nothing. What worked was getting the air out of the system. Find the steepest hill or embankment you can find. You need to lift the front end up a couple of feet. Remove the radiator cap and the overflow cap and make sure the coolant is full to just below the overflow line. Rev the engine at 3500 to 4000 rpm's for about three to four minutes and then let it idle for the same amount of time. This might seem extreme but it does work. It will take at least half an hour to an hour to clear the air out to where you will get hot air at idle. They also recommend to sqeeze the coolant line to help get the air out but I am not sure this helps. Don't forget to check the radiator cap to see if it is good. If you can't see the metal ring around the outside of the rubber gasket, it is worn and it needs to be replaced. There is a Nissan bulletin that explains it all but I can't remember the number. Good luck.
