OT, but the same rules still apply to car storage (Warning: 300ZX content)
Alright, spring is finally here, and its time to bring the Z out of storage. Its been sitting since I moved at the end of December, and hasn't been driven since.
What (beyond needing a new battery) do I need to do to the car to get it ready? Fluids were new when I bought it, but should I change the oil anyway? I plan on dumping a can of seafoam into the gas tank as well.
Anything else I should do?

I hope you put new oil in before you stored it - all those acids that formed would have attacked the
engine all this time.
Yes change the oil - adding some extra oil detergent should not hurt.
Seafoam my be overkill.
Battery should have had a trickle charger put on it.

Battery was bad when I bought it (overlooked it). I said it hasn't been driven since
but it has been run every couple of weeks to keep the oil moving.

winter storage? I don't do crap (other than change oil) after. while storing I try to roll the
car every few weeks to keep away flat spots on the tires. I use a battery trickle charger or remove it completely, I put moth ***** on the floor to keep rodents away.
