Is this not a DIY job, asking as I'd planned on doing it myself when the time comes.

I did mine in 2017, I regard myself as a competent amateur mechanic, who has done a number of valve clearance checks/re-shims in the past.
Gaining access on the GTR is hard, there is a lot of bodywork to remove, and you'll need to support under the engine to remove both upper engine mounts.
I did the job over a number of days when the bike was not needed.
