So I am a typical car guy, I don't like to drive my baby in the winter... peiod, especially a car with exposed frame rails like the 240sx and their known for rotting in daily driver (snowy winter regions) so I store her, i didnt even think to buy fuel stabilizer and my friend brought it to my attention about a week ago today, here it's +7 degrees celsius so he came over and we dropped the battery back in it (it's been on a trickle charger since storage) i couldnt believe how fast it started up, slow compared to an everyday car... it took about 5 whole seconds, hesitated, then fired right up, after 5 and a half months of storage with no stabilizers in it. i couldnt believe it, i really see why you guys stick with nissans. good to be back on the forums

Yeah i just started mine in January for the first time since May with a used engine in it and no fuel stabilizer or no gas. Mine didn't even turn a whole 2 seconds before it started. But i f***ing hate her.
