You will need to add the fastcgi_pass setting relevant for you. The
other settings are optional.

If you've used

include fastcgi_params;

then you've probably got a setting

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME xxx

in there. This will over-ride the one mentioned below, so it won't
work. You need to remove it.

There's no need to do a rewrite - setting the script filename from the
regex location is more efficient.

As an extra note, having fastcgi_index here will have no effect - the
regex ends in .html, so would never be used.

Try :

location ~ -t([0-9]+).html$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:2000;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/document/root/showthread.php?t=$1;
include fastcgi_params; # no fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME setting in this file!!!
fastcgi_intercept_errors On;
fastcgi_ignore_client_abort On;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffers 4 128k;
}
