Hey guys,

I have been looking around the site for tips on storing the GN for the winter, is there any info for doing this correctly?

Does the Power master break unit have special storage procedures? I know they are tempremental when they sit and I just bought this one!

If you plan on driving it in the Spring, I wouldn't go to overboard.


Throw a couple of silica gel packs in the interior (or a box of open baking soda) to absorb moisture if you are in a damp climate.
Brakes should be fine, especially if you topped off the fluid recently. (I'd be worried if it was the wrong fluid though … you want the standard DOT 3 fluid (NOT silicone based))
Take the weight off the tires, unless you move the car around a bit every couple weeks or so.
Start the car and let it get completely up to temperature at least once a week.
Put the recommended amount of a gas stabilizer in the gas tank (and DON'T use gas with Ethanol in it!). Something like Sta-Bil works fine or Lucas stabilizer


Pretty much keep it dry, out of direct sunlight and best would be to drive it around the block a couple times every couple weeks on nice days.

Thanks Ken,

should I depressurize the power master?

No ... I would think all that would do is invite moisture.
