Has your Z ever experienced -20C ? (Pic)
On my way to work this morning and noticed the temperature gauge was showing -20C. All I can say is everything still functions well in -20C.

Mine actually dropped to -11F...(-24C) That was at 04:00 though, so it was pretty much the low for that day. The clutch took SO long to let out. Even if I popped it, it would go out *really* slow...Z's were meant to live in OC or Osaka; not the midwest.

By the way, I also plugged in the block heater over night. The car warms up right away and within 1 min., there's heat coming out already.
I can also comment that the R-tune nismo brake pads work well in -20C too. At first, I had concerns about the cold temperature because everyone knows that nismo pads are not meant for winter temps.
Usually from the cold start, for the first 2 cold stops, I can feel the pads are cold and stiff, so it takes a bit more pressure on the brake peddle. But after 5 stops, it works just like fine.
