Thanks for putting those on ... exactly the simple sort of stuff that I need to see ...especially when the Gtr is out of warranty or I just want to mess about ... it's good to do stuff like that so you get to know your bike a bit more .... and polish those bits you can't get to when the wheels on

Just because many do it does not make it right. Just because many think it does not make it true.

I appreciate I haven't been around for a while and need to update the useful information of this thread.

Two I can think of:

1. Viper's instructions of preventing warped discs
2. How to prevent the suspension adjuster from seizing on 2010+ models

Any others?
