Looks like a couple of things for me to be looking out for....   Seized rear preload adjuster  and warped discs... anything else that will jump out at me ?   :wink:

this has not happened to all the gtr's :nono: I've only done 7,550 miles but I've had no issues with warp discs, the rear preload can and has seized on quite a few :sad: but if you turn the preload both ways to full turn then back to your setting once a month it will not seize. I think it could have been designed better to keep the weather elements out, but lack of use is causing them to seize. make sure it as had the rear brake recall done if applicable on the 09 model, and it's advisable to fit a hugger, radiator guard, fenda extenda, and a headlamp protector. then you will have the best sports tourer on the market :smiley:
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

I'll check with the brake issue.....its got a hugger and fenda extenda fitted already... not sure about whether it has a rad guard....

I'm hoping it looks as tasty as the photo's 

:yes:

Better to be old and grey than the alternative!
