ALT Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well in my case about 8 mins of gentle driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz77 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 takes about 6-7 minutes I think. always wondered about how good or bad is gentle driving for the engine. I always warm it before shooting off. simply because I cant gentle drive the Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 never go over 3000 rpm until the temp needle hits just below middle (where it normally stops) got told that by my dad, have done it with all my cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatalus Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Actually I consider it wise to wait until oil pressure drops to 20-30 before you nail it! I dont rely only upon water temp in case I have rallying in mind!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I tend to look at the oil pressure. I wait until it drops to 20-30 on idle before playing induction tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I tend to look at the oil pressure. I wait until it drops to 20-30 on idle before playing induction tunes. Yup, I'm with you guys. Coolant heats up a bit quicker than oil, so wait for the coolant to level off and the oil pressure to drop, then we're off! One thing that amazes me is how long the Zed keeps its head when turned off. You can leave it a good few hours and the coolant is still warm when you get back in. My old cars always went cold within an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old cars always went cold within an hour. I find that as well, and even the oil pressure stays low for a good while too. Especially if I have been out and then wash the car, it can be a pain when trying to dry the bonnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g60luke Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I noticed in altheo45 thread at the top that he has a graph How did you create this? Was it from diagnostic logging? If it was what diags do you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALT Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I noticed in altheo45 thread at the top that he has a graph How did you create this? Was it from diagnostic logging? If it was what diags do you use Its an ELM327 USB scanner with Gendan EngineCheck. Its not bad, but the coding is a bit crude. Some aspects I'm not keen on. It does allow data logging and export to Excel, which is how I produced the graph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
