So what is a "safe" temperature? Let Nissan answer it. Here's the Owners Manual:

Quote:
For most types of driving, the pointer will hover about halfway. However, the engine will run satisfactorily when the pointer is at any position in the middle range. Continual stop-and-go driving or high-speed driving in warm weather, hill climbing, or towing another car may cause the gauge pointer to swing to the "H" side. If the pointer stays on the "H" side for more than two minutes, stop the vehicle and let the engine cool down, keeping it at 1,000 to 1,500 rpm.
So don't worry about it, unless it actually gets to the "H" mark.

I have run mine for hours close the "H" mark at the peak of summer (and my radiator is in very good, though not new, condition). My engine still runs great and doesn't smoke after probably 70,000 miles (it is an original JDM "used" engine, never been rebuilt).
