change the oil before starting it. when starting it crank it a few times n then shut it off before it fires. do this a few times to get some oil pmped around before letting it fire n at idle rpm.

id drain the fuel but a lot of people say it can stay pretty good in that period. particularly if the tank was full and therefore minimal air in there to interact with.

if it hasn't been rolled every 3 weeks then itl need new tyres as they will be flat spotted.

otherwise id take it very easy for about 50km/30 mins until it warms up nicely and every little nook n cranny has fluid.

IS your GTR in storage because of the weather? It may be a good idea if you're really worried about your vehicle to get a mechanic in and give it a proper tune up just to make sure eveyrthing is okay after coming out of the cold. At the same time, besides changing the oil and tires like what @jjman suggested, just make sure that you give the car a bit of time to warm up before taking it out of storage for a spin. Have fun!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
