Help with Storing 370z away for winter

[2010Z]

Hey everyone.

For some reason I cant seem to find any threads on Storing the Z away.

Basically I want to know what to do and how to go about it to ensure that when spring comes my Z will be running normally.

Do I disconnect the battery so it doesnt drain?

Do I fill it with gas or leave it empty?

Also, can anyone direct me to a good car cover that wont scratch my paint?

Thanks,

Not sure why you got the face plam there but, anyway.... Is the car being kept inside or outside???? Do you want to just leave it for months without touching it? If so I would get a battery tender, it keeps the battery maintained without unbolting it from the car. Keep a full tank of gas but put some Stabilizer in it. If you wanna get real carzy and plan on not moving the car at all you need to put the car up on jack stands or get something to keep the tires from getting flat-spots. I would also put something in the exhaust so critters dont climb inside, maybe some mothballs under the hood or in the trunk, keeps animals away. I dont drive my Z in the winter, but since I plan on starting it and driving it around the block everyonce in a while I dont have to go to the extremes that I just posted.

Thanks for your help.

The vehicle will be stored inside and also I will not be moving it or starting it at all for about 4 months. Is there anyway that i can avoid using a battery tender. Does disconnecting the battery do any harm to the vehicle or its system? I just find disconnecting it much easier and cheaper...lol.

My wonderful thread

I filled up the gas tank, took the battery home with me put the car cover on and left her. 100% the way I left in when I picked it up
