Now that my first semester of college is coming to a close, I'm swamped with stuff to do and I haven't been able to drive my Coupe for more than a week (yes it is killing me). I can see it, and I know it's safe and everything, but is it good (mechanically) for it to sit so long, outside in 40-ish degree weather? How often should I just take it out for a quick spin?

 

A week at a time should be fine. A "quick spin" is probably the worse thing you could do however. Make sure your drive is long enough to fully warm up your engine. It's those short trips where the engine never fully warms up that does the harm.

 

Yeah . . . no quick spins. 20-30 minutes, minimum. Otherwise you are better off leaving it sitting.

 

Alright, that sounds good. Thanks for the help. I can't wait to get my coupe back in the garage this winter over Christmas break!

 

mine is always outside. I travel out of town m-f so it never gets touched. I haven't had any issues yet (my coupe is over a year old now).

 

You should check tire pressure off and on, and without turning on the engine,
let the car roll forward/aft to get it off the same spot on the tire. This will
minimize flatspotting. I do this at least once every 2 weeks in the winter while
my car sits in the garage. (actually, I take a jack, rotate the wheel 90 degrees,
lower it on the floor on all 4).

If you do turn the motor on, then do full blast A/C for 3-4min to circulate
the cooling system.

 

One more thing, fuel starts going bad after about a month, and withing 3 months it will really be bad. If you aren't going through a tank as often as a month or so, don't fill it to the top. Otherwise, consider a fuel stablizer.

 

today's fuels will last you three months without any serious deterioration you need to be concerned with. Also fuel stabilizer is not not recommended by Nissan. Check out an earlier post I made:

Thank you for even more info, guys, you all have really gone above and beyond the call of duty here!
