im having overheating problems
 

hi im new to this forum...my gf bought a 95 nissan 200sx 4cylinder 1.6.....it overheats...what i need help with it is first i cant locate the thermostat.....ive also noticed that only the waterhoses on the lefthand side of the engine burst...also that when i take out the radiator cap water doesnt shoot everywhere...which i dont understand why theirs no pressure...so i was wondering maybe you guys could tell me any test i could try out to diagnose this car....
