#4 of 40 Winter Storage by vonsudderth Oct 11, 2003 (11:47 pm)
If it were me I would start the car and run it until operating temperature once a week. Nissan has a smart computer that cuts power to non essential systems if the car is not run for a period of time. I think it is ten days. But, a car hates to be left and not run. When you run the car once a week I would cycle all of the goodies to include the airconditioner and all the electronics. If possible, I would get a space heater for the garage or you can purchase a space bag for your car. I have a friend in New Hampshire that stores his 70 GTO in a spacebag and it works for keeping the moisture down. The bag is clear plastic and you drive the car into it and then there is a small fan that keeps the bag inflated. That is, after you zip it up. Good luck with the storage. But, I would heat the garage.

I recommend moving to California, winter storage is no problem. In fact, winter driving is a blast
#6 of 40 Care for Convertible Top by a350zlady Apr 16, 2005 (8:57 pm)
Hi, I' recently purchased an 2005 350Z Roadster. I live in California so the sun can be harsh on the convertible top. Does anyone have any suggestion on how it care for the top in the dry desert heat?? Currently I only rinse it with water when I wash my car. I don't use any soap on it.   Thanks

Replying to: a350zlady (Apr 18, 2005 8:24 pm) I think Armor All is safe for your interior. There are many people out there who say AA will dry and crack your dash, but from the research I have done their formula has changed and it will NOT dry or crack your interior dash. I actually emailed AA directly and, of course, they state their product will not harm your car. But, many people do not like the shiny affect AA has on their dash. Some say it causes a bad reflection. I use a damp cloth (spray detailer) and just wipe down the dash. I think Meguiars just came out with a new prodcut which cleans ALL interior surfaces. I am not sure it protects the surfaces or just cleans. I have not used this product yet.
#9 of 40 350Z Lubrication Points (No Grease Zerks) by netsukeman Apr 20, 2005 (9:17 am)
I recently purchased a 2004 Nissan 350Z. When I went in for first Lube, Oil, & Filter I was told the vehicle had NO Grease zerts to lube the suspension and stearing parts. I was told that the replacement parts (once the origional parts wore out) came with grease fittings, but that the Factory put no grease points on the origional parts. This seems crazy to me. Anyone got an answer, or explaination for this? Any alternative to waiting while your car parts wear out from lack of lubrication? Replies to this message: qbrozen (Apr 20, 2005 11:56 am)

Replying to: netsukeman (Apr 20, 2005 9:17 am) this is extremely common on cars these days. Grease fittings are becoming rather rare, to my knowledge, as a matter of fact. I believe my mom's '98 Trooper has them, but none of my last 6 or 7 cars built in the 90s and later have had any.
#11 of 40 2005 Nissan 350 Z Brake Pad Issue by grzygrl Sep 06, 2005 (4:57 pm)
Has anyone else had problems with their brake pads having to be replaced after 4000 miles? I have had my car for 10 months, very low miles...brake pads in front already needed replacement. I drive 140 miles a month....and I don't drive in traffic. They tell me the back needs replacement in about a month or two...they are down to 50%. This is ridiculous. I have been driving sports cars for the last 20 years, have never had this problem before. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: rdt1 (Mar 24, 2009 5:52 pm)

Replying to: a350zlady (Apr 18, 2005 8:24 pm) 350Z Lady--   DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL.. I have a 2003 350Z and was told that the oils attract dust and over time it will crack your dashboard. The auto guys reccomend I use warm water and a towel to wipe it down.   I used Armor All wipes once or twice. I liked the gloss but it was oily everywhere..

Replying to: 3fidday (Sep 19, 2005 5:36 pm) crack an all-plastic dash? I don't buy it. Dashboards that have actual material of some sort covering them, ok, but not solid plastic. Replies to this message: 3fidday (Sep 20, 2005 9:38 pm) qbrozen (Sep 21, 2005 6:20 am)
