This is a normal typical Datsun temperature. Within the "satisfactory" range per the owner's manual.

Here is my Datsun from a 100+ degree day (over 38C), pulling a hill to pass a truck. I was doing 4250 RPM.

It still was not overheating even at this extreme normal range. Any hotter though and it would start to overheat (push water out the overflow tube). So it's right on the ragged edge between running hot and overheating.

If your Datsun normally is around the 1/2 mark, but gets to this temp when going hard, it's time to get a radiator that provides more cooling. Either a new 1200 radiator or a larger radiator will provide more cooling. You can fit a used B210/B310 wider radiator which has substantially more cooling and was designed for A14/A15 engines.

edit: Changed the word "normal" to "typical".
