Car overheated suddenly one day. Plastic OEM radiator cracked.

Purchased brand new Mishimoto radiator, Nissan thermo and water pump.

I didn't test the old thermo but the spring looked faulty. Replaced the water pump since I was getting in there anyways and better to replace it now even though it was working fine(currently at 138,000 miles).

Replaced everything, buttoned it back up, purged the air out of the bleeder valve. Warmed up the car let the thermo open and topped off the coolant. Shit is still overheating, WTF???

Upper radiator hose is hot while lower hose and water neck are cool to touch.

Help a brah out.
Do you have a KA?
If so, was your car on an 80 degree incline you did this? If not you should do it again .

Also check the CTS with a multimeter.
