I went outside to start up my car (try to do it at least every month but in this case I waited 3 months) and my battery was dead. So I bought a new XS Power battery (a deep cycle quick discharge battery) which should help with my audio system a bit.
Dave, Z days seems tempting. I am assumming from the posts that you have gone before?
Also, I actually have my stock wheels for my 2003 Z. It is for a touring so they are 17" rims...not sure if you would still be interested. It has been collecting dust for almost two years now.
And finally Ben...buddy...I didn't forget about you. Is it true that the toliet water spins the opposite direction over there . By my logic that happens anywhere they drive on the wrong side of the road.

Hey Guys...long time since I have said hi (FYI - I'm Doug for those of you that have forgot who I am based on my tag . I drive a Blue Z with some nismo body kit parts). I have been reading posts but too lazy to contribute. This is about the time of the year that I get really antsy to get out and drive.

Thanks for the heads up. I will probably just keep the new battery inside until it is nice out then.

Yes!!! Do not start your car while you are storing it. Like Aaron said use a battery tender if you have one or what I always do is take out the whole battery and leave it inside in the basement on top of a piece of small plywood.

I can't believe how much noise they block...next time you guys are in Best Buy try out the demo. The highlight of my trip will be wearing these headphones and watching a movie on my new Netbook computer!

Looks like they are 7 spoke. This is the only picture I have of them. In terms of a cost...I haven't done any research on what a fair price is yet. Ideas anyone. I remember a few chips and a little oxidation of something on them but if you are going to refurb them anyways it doesn't much matter.

I will sell them for $250 for all four. Here are a couple links selling new...so you can compare based on pricing.
http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...ek+Google+Base
http://www.finishlinewheels.com/NISSAN/350Z/2003/
Plus the cost of hand warmers if you expect me to pull them out of cold storage during the winter .

Don't look out your window you're not going to like what you see.... Ok I'll just tell ya.. Got about 4-6 inches of snow and still coming down at 3am. Just got done snowblowing the driveway. The good news is, is that it is light and fluffy so not a back breaker if you dont have a snowblower or plow

Just checked. The toilet flushes too fast to tell. I'll get back to you on that.

Hey, Doug! Welcome back! I feel your pain about driving as we all do. Like the others said, leave the car alone and don't start it. I used to do that but not anymore. If it makes you feel better, bring the battery inside and store it in the basement on a block of wood.
Greg, I didn't think we got that much snow. I just shoveled my driveway and sidewalk and thought we only got 2 inches or so. Either way, it was a good workout for the first thing in the morning. Now for some breakfast.
BTW, toilets flush in the opposite direction ONLY in the Southern Hemisphere, i.e. south of the equator. Fun little fact.
As for Zdayz, Greg and I are the only ones planning on going SO FAR.

By the way, the way to tell about the toilet is to drop something in it and flush...usaully that gives you a good line of sight of what direction the water flows .
