I start drifting and burnouting everywhere.
engine needs to be warmed up quickly nah I just drive quite calm and never go above 3000RPM |
plus the 370z sounds great the first 30seconds during cold start. why not just listen to it? :D

in winter i usually warm up for 3 minutes. it is not going to kill you and it is doing your car metallurgy good.

Living in Chicago, I'm driving in sub-zero temps often. I never get on the throttle above 3k RPM unless the oil temp is off the minimum. Even then, I limit the acceleration (<4-5k) until I hit 180F. |
Since my cars normally in the garage I give it the 30 seconds, sometimes a little more. If its been sitting outside all night and its really cold, I'll start it up get out and have a smoke. By then all the temps are good to go and the butt warmers nice and toasty

I live in the land where cold weather doesn't happen often (NorCal), so I usually just wait for the car to come off fast idle. After that, it's sub 3k rpm till the car has fully warmed up; coolant gets there first, then oil, then gearbox. I usually wont get on a car hard till I've gone at least 10 miles or so.

Most of the time the car will warm up to up to 5 mins.

If the outside temparature is 40 degrees F, it doesn't take long until dot moves to 2nd. But if it's 15 degrees F (that's 15 below freezing), it's takes 4-5 minutes. The only reason I wait a little is because I live 30 seconds off the parkway. I usually hit the acceleration ramp at full throttle :driving:. But as Killerbee said, if I'm in a rush, start and GO for me :( |

Since I'm the second house on my street from an arterial (though nearly rural), after that I'm going down the road at 45-55mph. My frontier with it's temperature sensitive transmission doesn't like to shift into OD or lock the torque converter until it's warmed up, so I've gotten soft on gunning it until then, which by that point I'm on a highway. That carries over w/ the Z. Plus, the tires don't grab as well when they've not yet warmed up from use. |
