Man really loving this cool streak down south here... oil temp hanging around
180.. and the forced cool air feels like it adds 20hp. the car just feels quicker.. i know crazy......

I know exactly what you mean. There's nothing like driving the Z in mild 75 degree weather on a sunny day.

I believe that's the premise for cold air induction....

Not crazy at all. Cooler air has higher percentage of oxygen... the engine loves it!!(more power)

You should try it with a couple of turbos at 40 degrees!

Note to self...Just because you let the car warm up, does not mean the tires are warm.

I love it too, but the damn wind we've had here in SoCal the past few days mean my car gets dirty quickly

Despite the wind and cold (relative, cold for us anyway), I had to drive home tonight with my windows down and enjoy my new Stillen catback that I purchased/had installed at Stillen this morning!

I think anyone that lives in the NWT's, Yukon or Nunavut has a small bit of crazy in them. You get some long freaking Winters. The locals probably think your crazy for driving a sports car.

Welcome cav115. So the added power has nothing to do with cooler oil temps, correct?

Blizzaks filled with nitrogen!! the only way to go. The tires remain surprisingly soft. However the stocker tires left something to be desired, the car wouldnt even move on a flat surface if u even mentioned the word snow around it!! The old girl performs great on the ice and snow now, in fact quite an improvement over my 05 350z. The VDC systems works very nicely.

My Z loves the cold weather... mmmmmmmmmmmm

kenchan · 11-30-2010, 02:57 PM

cooler weather here just makes my tires spin... more power + less grip.

i want to get a 2nd set of wheels and wrap them with tires that work in colder temps (for spring and fall).
