Message	I've found I haven't needed a block heater in 5 years of *daily* Z32 winter driving. Both my NA and TT started fine in -30 weather after being outside all day. Of course, a good CCA rated battery is paramount and and the charging system better be up to snuff. Regards, The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song; it's rolling, roaring automotive art. There is no color that doesn't suit it. There is no mood-lifting chemical substance it cannot replace. 1993 Nissan Ad Why do you spend time here? These people are assholes!
