If I could store my Z I would, so I definitely feel you on that one. Only thing I can really chime in on is that the Z is a capable winter driver with the right set of tires. Lots of threads on that if you do a search. By all means though, if you have another daily driver then keep that Nismo shining!

This is my first winter with the Z in storage. all I really did was give it a good wash and interior cleaning, had the oil changed, added a battery buddy and covered it.

It is in a garage and only expecting it stored 4-5months tops Dec-March/April. Car seems fine but I am sad everytime I walk by it until I take the winter driver out and see the gravel on the roads
