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
GReaT info.
Thank you.
Added link to parts diagram and listed UK models.
Excellent Info-thanks for making the effort to put these up here :smiley:
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?

Well, just for the Halibut, I'd go with a white of some sort, but one musn't forget the sausages.
Great info.
Thanks.
Just picked up on this thread.
Personally I would recommend a light crisp white such as Pinot Grigio, Chabley, Muscadet or Reisling.
As for Halibut - This meaty fish is delicious when prepared simply with just a few ingredients. Consider BBQ or poaching.

Hi,
Anyone know where I might be able to find the posts mentioned below please? I've just brought mine out of hibernation and htese two could be relevant. Also, anyone got any experience of a reluctance to change gear after being laid up? Just been to the MOT station in 1 st and 2nd gear. CAme back and able to hook into 3rd. Might it just be a case of needing to get thoroughly warmed up and the oil recirculated?
Any guidance appreciated!
Andy

1, rotate your disc bobbins often, use brake cleaner plus a nut and bolt through the hole.
2, cover the adjuster with a balloon or suchlike to prevent water ingress, make sure it turns before covering, if it's seized then you can remove it and dip it into a plastic bag full of WD 40 penetrant, if completely seized there is a little pin you can remove to get the top off.
Wouldn't mind instructioms for removing the swing arm... needs painting but looks complicated!!

It's not as complicated as it looks.
Re-installing it is a bit of a ballache though. :yes:
Just follow the instructions in the Service Manual.
