We re-grease everything on the four-wheel-drives after driving through deep water.

MOST of the electrical connections are Weather Pac (or the like), except several ground attachments. Really vulnerable is the air intake and space under the plenum, fan motors, headlight and marker light connections...

I've never done that with my Z, but several occasions in my Jeep Cherokee. It was well worth it to take an afternoon and open every connector and switch/relay and terminal panel. Always found some water in places where I either was surprised it got in, or stuff like motors or housing (windshield wiper housings, etc) where water got in. (My worst experience was after pressure washing under the hood and the temperatures dipping below freezing while the car was parked at the airport when I was on biz a couple days. But, that's another story!)

All has been dried out.
Water drained from the engine valley via the drain tube. I had just cleaned that a couple of months ago.
Been driving everyday since the submergence, about 120 miles a day (my commute).
Was on the Dyno this past Saturday.
No issues. Everything works.
