I try to wait until the coolant temp dot has moved before I leave the garage. Then I wait for throttle over ~3K RPMs until the oil temp needle has at least moved off the 140F mark. Anything above 5K RPMs waits for 160F temp on the gauge which tells me the actual oil temp is at least 180F.
These are just ideal scenarios for me because I have a 60 mph state highway 1/4 mile from my house. It's hard for the Z to warm up in that distance, and when there's traffic, it's hard to merge into traffic safely without pushing 5K RPMs in at least 1st and 2nd gears. I try to let it sit in the garage longer if I know I'm going that direction.
