thanks for good info!

 

Hummm i have a GF210 also.

Fixed: gotcha! How long you had springs? I will not really worry about it tho, GF210's spec isn't much drop from OEM spec.

 

I agree. I have not seen real Covercraft covers for less. Make sure you get the Nismo or standard 350Z Coupe pattern as required.....

 

thanks for all the help buddy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hmm soo im in iraq and i put my car up on jacks thinking that taking the weight off the suspension was better for the car been like that for three months should I get my bro to put the car back down? or just leave it now till i come home in 4 months? since i have already doen it?

 

You hit the nail right on the head. I bought a Z last month and the question of storing preps has been on my mind. The point is, how about the hundreds of cars sitting at the dealership parking lots?. No car covers, no jack stands, probably no fuel stabilizers, no moisture absorbers, no etc etc. And like you wrote, these cars are shipped from Japan, Korea, ...

 

It's that time of year for some of us unfortunate ones, so I'll bump a good, old thread.

This year, I've got wheel dollies. The Z is going to get stored in the corner of my garage once I'm done detailing her. I usually wipe down the inside with leather conditioner on the seats, I'll clean the carpets, dash, then move to the exterior where a good wash and wax will do the job. Then she goes under the cover.

I was hoping to get a chance to polish the exterior, but the weather here has turned dramatically worse. I guess I'll polish her next Spring.

 

Check out this thread....

Yeah, I did a search and found several threads on the subject. I bumped what I thought was the newest thread. That's a good thread, too. Maybe they can be merged?

I think I can say that I'm a 'pro' when it comes to storing my cars in the winter.

 

Suprised this thread got bump.

 

IMO it is alright to leave your ride as-is; i am. i will be deploying pretty soon and will have to store my Z and cobra. FYI: i like your wheels are those the gram lights 57s pros? my Z is also rockin' a set of those.

 

Nice write up!!

 

storing it for winter? pffff winter tires and bam u can use it all year round



last year haha

 

Havn't figures out how keeping the car on jackstands is bad for the bushings. If you were to support the car on the chassis and not on suspension components the bushings would have weight on them.

 

i wonder what does the Z manual suggest?

 

Even if you did the engine and oil up to full operating temp, there is nothing to be gained by periodically starting a stored car.

Once its its "stored", leave it alone.

lol winter store z?? what is this... the z is my winter car lol... i ride my f4i most of the year when its not snowing... if ppl on bike forums saw how concerned ppl are about storing a z for the winter they would fall over and laugh lol.... cars are ment to be driven... a good set of winter tires and theres no need for wasteful storage

 

Who really cares!!! I know i don't

 

I'm wondering how important it is to remove the battery for the winter?

If I remove the battery and put it in my apartment, then how important is it to invest in a battery charger to charge it periodically? I really don't want to buy a battery charger. Is it sufficient to just remove the battery for the winter and keep it in a warm place?

 

battery charger? just disconnect the negative and you are done. don't invest any more than you have to, especially in this recession
