just found mine today. had no idea it even comes with one! is this something that comes from japan or is it installed by the dealer as aftermarket? neither the nissan website, nor the owner's manual mention anything about a block heater.

I think it's blockheaters are installed on all Zs destined to Canada. I remember reading somewhere blockheaters in Canadian Zs were a standard equipment.

My thoughts exactly but I just never looked to see where it was.

People, what are you thinking? Those poor cars!
I saw a Ferrari roadster on the news spinning it's wheels in the snow Toronto had the other day. The guy must really love driving his car.

For any of you who doubt the cold up here.... the temperature at my home in the country in Alberta is minus 40 degrees (8:00pm local on Saturday night). This is where the fahrenheit and celcius scales meet. It is supposed to get even colder tonight. I expect we will get to minus 45 here. Further north in Alberta, it is forcasted to reach minus 50.

All sane 370 owners should now be babying their rides indoors.

A walk in the north end of Halifax and certain other neighbourhoods will require the donning of a kevlar vest to save your *** from stray bullets! Ten homicides this year for such a small city. Ridiculous.
