Z loves the cold temps
 

:ughdance:I know every car runs better in cooler temps but man!! The Z loves it what a difference. Today was the first night since I got it, that its been really cool(about 52 here in cleveland) and man does it roar so much more power than the 80-90 degree humid temps we have been having. My K@n roared!

:tup:

There's always a down side. Less grip with tires.

i own a volvo running 18psi and you wanna talk about feeling a difference! Cold weather is God's gift to forced induction! when it gets cold i'm all like :driving:

Giggity. I can't wait for cold temps!:driving:

I hear ya on the cold temps giving more power. Problem is in Edmonton cold weather usually comes with 8-12 inches of snow!

Oh well, at least we usually have a solid 2 months of nice driving weather... :ugh2:

Mine prefers 100-110 degrees in Houston for 2months. It's been running great!

move here in FL :tup:

Yup, traction in 1st and second is a much bigger issue. On regular 70 degree days, my Z hooks up in 1st most of the time but spins through 1st and 2nd at night.

:iagree:

lol. -56C last winter. car went like a raped ape. Took 3 hrs to warm up but damn.

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

My Mercedes Coupe was a completely different car when it got cold. I was living in SC at the time and you couldn't even feel the supercharger come up in the summer. When it got cooler it would snap you back in your seat. And that was at like 8 psi...

I recently watched a Top Gear program and they were testing the new Porsche GTR2 (turbo). It was tested in the desert at over 100° and the driver said there was no power. When he called Porsche they told him it was the heat that probably reduced the HP by 80. When the driver tested it in LA at midnight, the temps were in the 60's and man what a difference. SO, heat is a killer to forced injection.

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. :driving:

:iagree:

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 :eek:

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 :driving:

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

haha is that siberia?

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. :ughdance:

Yes, but at Edmonton temps, doesn't oxygen actually stop moving? :rofl2:

:icon17:

My oil temps refuse to go above 180F now. :icon14:

By the way, do you happen to remember if you were at a Citgo station in New Milford a few months back (and saw a gunmetal Z)?

I just realized you're from Danbury and have a white Nismo and I remember pulling up next to one at a gas station...

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

May I suggest test pipes as well:ugh2:

Will be getting HFC's/Test Pipes eventually :tup:

Yes the traction is def less in the cooler temps but makes for some fun drivin! btw my buddy at work has a colbalt SS and ever since I got mine he has been talking a big game about how we will race for 50. I said sure anytime. well I let him drive my car today, needless to say he said forget the bet, this cars a beast. I want it! lol

^ you must be talking about racing at the track?
