winter storage/tire pressure
I am about to store my 350Z for the winter and will start it at least once per week to keep battery from draining.
I cannot find anyything in the Z book on what to do about tire
pressure. My BMW owners book called for 60lbs of pressure when in storage for long periods of time. Can anyone offer a response?

not sure about the tires. i've heard to lower the air pressure... but then that would make the sidewalls compress more.
i wouldn't recommend starting the car once a week though. you won't get the engine to proper temps and can't burn the stuff in the oil off. put stabil in the fuel tank, before filling a full tank, then drive it home to make sure the fuel's everywhere. buy a trickle charger and charge the battery once a month. that's my procedure for my motorcycle anyway.

I'm thinking of putting the Z up on jack stands. Maybe I'll put the wheels in the bedroom closet. No worries then about any damage from sitting a few months in the garage
I'm ALSO thinking of pulling out the ECU and sending it off for a Flash...
