dont drive it during winter. I have lots of hard learned experience with storing the Z in the winter. do not cover it, the changes in temp when the car is covered in or outside for long periods of time cause it to sweat "condensation" if you want to know what this does, go ahead and do it for yourself and regret not listening. put it inside a garage, even one of those temp tent style garages are ok as long as it keeps out all snow and rain and closes on all sides. preferably a normal car garage though. you will need to keep mice out of it as well REGARDLESS IF ITS IN A NORMAL GARAGE. also, do not use those green pellet mouse/rat killer, they just carried it all into the car last time i tried it and they will die INSIDE IT. put sticky traps, and those inclosed snap traps around it and some moth balls under the car and you will be ok. you can ether unhook the battery, or start it once or twice a week "i did". But if you unhook the battery the auto window up/down when you open and close the door wont work after you re attach the battery. To fix this, open the door, roll window all the way down. close door. then roll the window all the way to the top but DONT LET GO of the button, keep it pulled up until you here an audible click sound. do this for the passenger side too and it will function normally. this resets the windows auto function. If you can afford to do it, put a halogen light under the car too. this helps keep moisture from building on it while it sits for months.
oh, your key fob honk/lights when you lock/unlock also resets when bat is unhooked. hold both buttons down "not alarm" until it honks. done.
