Storing the zed for a long time 6 months+

[NWZ]

As the title says, if I don't sell my 350z I have an option of storing it in a garage. Any tips on what I need to do to store the car? Should I disconnect anything or let any air out of the tyres?

 

Thanks....Mark.

Put it up on blocks if you can, leave handbrake off, disconnect the battery or hook up a suitable trickle charger, jam the clutch pedal down. Lock the garage door.

Are the blocks to stop flat spots in the tyres Alex? I was going to suggest rolling the car every now and again to stop them

Yeah and to protect the side walls, also if you are away for 6 months there is always the chance that a tyre may go down.

If the car can be started and moved a bit every week then my recomendations are not really necessary.

But if you are like me, storage for 6 months tends to turn into a year at least and it is amazing how stuff deteriorates when left unattended.

 

Best also to dry the bodywork down well before storing and make sure that the brake discs are well dry.

To save the clutch disc potentially sticking to the fly or cover.
