How much do you warm up your Z?

On another note, i dont think staying under 2k at first is really necessary or the like. For example in BMW's, they have the lights around the RPM's that warn you where to keep your RPM's while the car warms up. The lowest on them starts at like 5000 rpm's, meaning you can rev it to that limit until it warms up quicker...

The thing is though people were seeing oil pressure of >100 when going only to 3000 rpm.

Ok, well what is the pressure rating for our car? Is there somewhere that says it should be within x and x limits? Being curious...

Yep, after my camp 2 installed and seeing the pressure so high I always keep my revs down until the oil warms up. Not a huge deal for most people honestly, the only times I could see it being a problem is on extremely cold days and the car takes a long time to warm up.
