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!

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
