Your scope and EPs are plenty good enough to show you a fair amount of detail including the GRS. You just need a bit of patience, practice and reasonable conditions. Try when the planet is higher up in the sky (soon after sunset atm) and when the atmosphere is not too turbulent. Magnification of 100-150x (8-12mm EP). Also keep in mind that the GRS is not always on the side of the planet facing us - but you should be able to see cloud bands anytime: they run in parallel with the approx line of the 4 moons.
