So who has stored their Z
 

I am planning on the upcoming long week to put her away for the winter. Still getting ~+10 weather no snow but starting to see a bit more gravel on the roads mostly off trucks coming down from the mountains.

So 6MT Red Neck Heaven whats that Calgary :tup:

Ha Red Deer it is, lived in Edmonton for ~12years and watching the vancouver/Calgary game right now...

Don't make me pullout a map lol... Surprised you guys haven't seen snow yet..

Isn't it great how the canuckleheads are dominating the flameouts?:stirthepot:

Ha yeah for sure, still a die hard oilers fan, might even fly back for a game this year...would be cheaper then any Vancouver game even including the flight lol...

The Oilers definitely have a future and are fun to watch. My company has 6 seasons tickets, but I haven't been to a game in over a year. (55" LCD HD with 5.1 surround sound, home cook'n and much better beer:roflpuke2: )

lol so true, about the same here center ice every year or we miss about 2/3 of the games.

Never. Down here.

Didn't you guys get hit hard a winter or 2 ago for a few weeks

Last year we had half inch of snow. It was removed from the roads pretty quick but the next 4 days had freezing temps (no snow). It shut down the city because water pipes where not winterized. I could drive no problem but I couldnt get a drink.

Rofl I feel for you..:inoutroflpuke:

Mine has been off the road since October 27. Still waiting for a good detail and car cover. Doing a correction/winterizing on my wife's car first so the Z has to wait. Happy wife... Happy life ;)

Mine stays on the road all winter. Living in Vancouver, we are lucky with little to no snow the winter and fairly mild temps.

IF the VDC still keeps the car going straight its good enough to be my DD :D

Cleaned, Stored, and hooked it up with battery tenderer :)

is that tenderer or tenderizer?:bowrofl:

Mines in storage to, as of last Saturday.......

I park(store) mine from approx november 1st to may 1st. Sucks cause only one week of driving my beater and I already miss my Z badly!:driving:

Here's some crappy iPhone pics of how I left it.......

Me too! The warm(er) weather over the last couple of days doesn't help...

:iagree: beater pictures....

Mine was parked as of Oct 26.

Nice! Subaru! Just like the one my brother totaled :( good cars though.

I would post pics of the beater but I don't have any......I'll take some today after work and see what I can do lol. It's a true beater though! Rust bucket through out but drive train is strong (which is all I cared about) and the 4x4 works! I've had it for going on 3 winters now and have only had to replace battery, starter and patch a fuel line. Not bad for $700 beater:)

Pics to come soon!!.......

Did it last year will be doing it again this year.

lol.... u caught me :eek:

Sound asleep till April. Stored her October 23. A lot earlier this year, but that's due to lack of available time from here on it. I'm now in a 2006 Ford Escape I picked up a few weeks ago. What a difference!

For those who're storing their cars this winter, Canadian Tire has the CTek Battery Tenderizer on sale for $50..

Ooo... that's pricey. The Solar SOL-1002 battery minder is only $39.95.

Better yet how bout you disconnect your battery and let it sit for free! :rofl2:


Dizzy - congrats sounds like a decent beater!


Pics of my beater will get posted tomorrow it has been to dark every day after work to get a pic..... Then again night **** might be better to hide off all the rust/bondo (unprimmed or painted bondo to lmao!)

Mine is going away the 9th =((

Can't you just reload your program if it is lost?

Only thing I have to reset on my car in spring each time was the auto window function and the center bezel clock. All other settings an saved data was there.

Well I was going to store it next week but today I found a wear/tear mark on the roof :mad:

Took it straight to the dealership and spoke to the head guy :argue: first he said we will take it to our detailers and get it patched I'm like :bs: so he took pictures and said he is going to contact Nissan Canada and see what can be done.
I am thinking new top and have to fixed before storeage I don't want to deal with this in the spring and with my luck it will be a new guy there that has no idea of the issue...

There have been threads here that have said that the ECU keeps it memory with the battery disconnected. Your tune should be safe. Just to be sure, check a few threads on here about it.

As far as maintaining my battery, I bought this when it was on sale for 40% off.Motomaster Eliminator Intelligent Battery Charger 6A/4A/2A | Canadian Tire

You will not lose your Uprev tune if you disconnect your battery. The stock ECU file/tune is replaced when you get an Uprev with a new tuned "ROM" file.

To recap, the ECU doesn't store the Uprev tune and the stock tune, it's one or the other. Replacing/disconnecting the battery will not revert the ECU back to stock.

^^that's how I thought it works to.......

End of the month for me....so trying to enjoy these last couple weeks

this is correct.:tup:

Weather is holding up down east. May get another week or two of driving in before the fire and theft only insurance goes into effect. GaleForce is correct about the tune. The tune is programmed into the ECU in the ROM as he stated. I would never use a trickle charger as they can over charge the battery. Use a 'smart' type charger like the Battery Tender which is recommended by Harley-Davidson.

Thanks Red :tiphat:

put the winter tires on last week, so I am ready for montreal snow!

Never store it, maybe because I live in Sunny California. Driving days per year based on weather = 365.
