Z loves the cold temps

wdkwang · 09-16-2011, 02:59 AM

so it being 53degrees out, i went for a drive. engine did feel happier. then i see a m6 and challenger racing on the highway. if i only i had more than 3/32 tire tread left.
chilled out for an hour at a lot and then rolled out, rolled through a puddle, and gunned in 2nd and fishtailed. felt like a noob

At what temperature oil/coolant does the 370Z begin to pull timing?

Its the first pretty cold morn here in awhile, low 50's. As soon as I get off the crapper Ill be jumpin in my Z and hammering her to work, should be fun.

Ha! Florida can't expect those temps until December or January.

Yep, I drove the TT this morning. Have to be careful with cold tires, cold air, and lots of boost.

So that was my first time in the cold after all my mods. Temp was high 40's not low 50's like I thought. Car loved it needless to say, even the exhaust sounded louder. With VDC off I had a great ride to work

Very sad here,no winter in my country,only hot & humid....or alot of rain.

Yup, the cars run like beasts let alone I cant remember the last time my oil temp sat at 200F lol. On the flip side, the other night i was screwing around, slammed it into second and spun myself around

Jeffblue · 09-16-2011, 10:12 AM

i think it makes it a little more fun in the cold because the engine is making more power and the tires have less grip

Jeffblue's favorite driving conditions

Tires lose grip all the time and the engine sucks in cold air.

Drove mine to work today as well. It was about 48 degrees in the morning and by habit I take this right turn out of my development pretty aggressive... forgot to take into account the cooler morning temps and cold tires. Rear end went out a little - looked like a boss jerk as I drifted out the corner.

My Z is definitely loving the cold temps. Can't wait to get my G3 intakes installed next weekend and really have some fun
