Who Puts Their Z Away For The Winter?
 

I'm about 90 days into owning my first Z - bought it at beginning of Nov and thought I'd have to put it away immediately - but, we got an extra month of beautiful summer/fall weather - so, just now putting it away (sad face)

Clay barred. 12 Month paint sealant. Car cover. Will be inside.

Plan on starting it once a week or so - if nothing else just to sit in it and listen to it idle! (happy face)

Anything else/special I need to know? Anything else I should do?

Thanks in advance all!

Winter storage has been discussed a LOT on this site. If the site's search isn't finding what you want, go to any major web search engine and add "site:the370z.com" to your search string. Eg, winter storage site:the370z.com

Don't have to down here in Florida, I couldn't take not driving it for months out of the year. If it's not raining I have the top down.

Mine is all set. Been in hibernation for 2 weeks now. I miss driving her. Don't forget to follow the link above for tips on how to put a car in storage for winter.

I put away my Corvettes for about 5-6 months at a time. All I do is top off the fuel tanks and hook up a float charger to each. I suggest leaving the engine alone as combustion products contain water which will not evaporate if the oil temperature does not reach a certain level and a certain amount of time. Idling the engine at extended amount of time also creates carbon deposit.

Gentlemen,

Yes, I put my toy away about a month ago, and I've had withdrawal symptoms ever since.

:iagree:
I've stored many vehicles over lots winters. Don't over think it. Change the oil. Check the anti-freeze. Put the float charger on. Leave the key in the keygina. Wait for spring.

We in the South know not of such practices..

I store mine in the winter months, I always put it and my motorcycles on a battery tender and top off the gas tanks. Other than that just clean, wax and cover her up!

Same here in the UK. We have a temperate climate, so luckily the Z can be my daily driver. Haven't need to hit the Snow Mode button once this winter.

I also do not know how I could cope without my daily hit of Z driving. I feel for you winterised people.

What the hell is a "WINTER"......LMFAO.

My z is a 2017. Picked it up in September and put it away in November......Just a few more weeks and its out again :D Heading to Dominican in less than a week and probably going to get it out weather permitting soon after

This is mine every year from about November through April...in this picture, the cover or the trickle charger are not on yet.
So, every time I go in and out of the garage I get to see this. :(

My Nismo has been in hibernation since mid November. She's clean, has fresh oil and is ready to go as soon as we get through this sh*tty winter of ours. Presently going through our weekly freezing rain storm. Love the Nissan satin cover, by the way.
