Hey I did a search and couldn't find anything. I will be driving my built motor jwt twin turbo Z from California to Wisconsin. My question is are there any issues I should keep in mind. I haven't really heard of anyone doing this.
Ya --Snow Ice. If u will be city driving prob no need for tires. If ur going to stay for awhile u have to figure altitude change and at the least, replug to a step hotter. Im from Wisc but dont remember altitude.
If ur running light on antifreeze u will want to bump to a 50% or maybe more depending on temps. Keep the belly clean ( Salt on the rds )
TT wont be a prob as far as the trip. I run my tanks pretty dry as a rule,but if u dont then u will have to consider moisture in ur tank that will freeze up in the cold weather. There is a product called HEAT, which is really just alcohol that breaks up the water.
Other than that ---Just a trip. Do ur chks and Maint. before u hit the rd.
Beware of Deer, Its hunting season and they are spooked
BTW---Hate to say it, but a warm weather car taken into a cold weather climate tends to bring out the worse as far as things breaking ( window motors,wiper motor modules, Cruise control, etc. ) No big fear, Just a little warning
Good Luck !!!!

Thanks alot yeah I plan on putting my stock rims and tires back on to make the drive. I'll do all my checks before I go. I've made the drive before with na cars but just not my Z yet.
eazzzzzzzy I hope nothing goes wrong, I'm literally driving it there and then its going in a climate controlled storage.
