winter storage
I am going to store my z in the next few weeks for a period of 4 months in a non heated private garage and I am wondering if my plan listed below is fine or if I should do something else
1) change the oil 2) top tank and put stabilizer 3) increase tire pressure to 40/42 psi 4) drive car for 30 mins 5) wash/clean/wax car 6) clean underside of the car 7) hook up battery to battery tender should I put rubber/carpet mats under my tires? should I leave a window partially down for air? This is the first time I store a car soo I am worrying a bit about doing it right/wrong. Cheers |
1) change the oil (no need)
2) top tank and put stabilizer (i dont use stabil) 3) increase tire pressure to 40/42 psi (good!) 4) drive car for 30 mins (:confused:) 5) wash/clean/wax car (if you wash make sure it's completely dry) 6) clean underside of the car (:confused:) 7) hook up battery to battery tender (good!) place car on Flatstoppers. :) |
driving the car for 30 mins was in relation to the oil change/stabil
as for cleaning underside of a car before storing I thought that was a standard thing before you store your car... are flatstoppers that worth it? Seem pretty expensive |
yah, you do want to drive the car around alittle bit if you mix stabil in your fuel.
washing your car's undercarriage is case by case. i haven't washed my Z this year, only QD and waterless washes as i dont drive the car in rain. yes, flatstoppers are worth it. considering tires are 1200 to replace, 250 or watever it was is nothing imho. i have 2 sets. one for my G and one for my Z. |
Had a chance to get the Z out of storage today and had the second longest drive since owning the car. what a great feeling, even though the little break in the weather won't last long. turned off the VDC too.

I know winter is almost over, but i had a quick question about storing it. Would using jackstands to take the weight completely off the wheels be better than Flatstoppers? Or is that what flatstoppers do?
