about the battery, can i just disconnect the terminals or do i have to compety remove it?
Depending on where you're at, I would disconnect the battery and take it out to store in a dry place. Don't leave it sitting on concrete. You could also just invest in a battery tender and hook that up for a trickle charge. But if you're going to be gone that long, I would take out the battery.

Good luck with the car cover if you store this thing outside. It's going to look like someone took an orbital sander to your car when you unravel it in the spring.

Wind + Car Cover + Crappy 370z paint =

My dealer told me not to put a fuel stabilizer in the gas tank. Only to make sure the tank was FULL

I have never put fuel stabilizer in my tanks.... just had them full and started the car once every 2 weeks and let it run for 30 min. Never had a problem

Look into the Car Capsule if you got the room. You got to spend some money but it will keep you Z looking great.
