Tony, glad to see you found the forum as well. I'm Lance which we conversed a bit on IG.

Better get the dealer to get the black Nismo looking fresh!!! Will you have it back by this weekend? Some of us might be getting together Saturday or Sunday depending if the rain holds out. Who would have thought we'd be having this weather in November? (NOT complaining!!!!!!)

I just picked up an old jeep for the winter so the z has been a daily driver up to this morning.

The potenza's that come on the sport wheels... Man! I know the manufacturers comments about cold weather come as a warning but wow. These tires do not like the cold, more so than I imagined.

There's not a whole lot you need to you. Some use a batter tender, jack the car up or just put carpet squares under the tires to prevent flat spots, and a bottle of fuel stapilizer to prevent breakdown of the gas.

Yeah in the process of it, got a quote at Nissan wayzata for 1700. They stayed no removable scratches or improper paint repairs, which there is. So I'm just waiting on a reply from the gm. I have all paper work signed from them stating it's supposed to be clean to! They practically screwed themselves

I still have to put socks and plastic bags over the exhaust tips, just in case. Also need to monitor the tires and maintain a higher than normal PSI for the winter.
