tightening handbrake
always adjust it at the wheels first.remove the back wheels and rotate the brake disc so the hole between the studs is about 25 past twelve as if you were looking at a clock.shine a torch in and youll see a toothed wheel.thats your handbrake shoe adjuster.what i do is put your handbrake on two clicks then adjust the shoes till the disc stops .once yove done this if the lever is still too high on the handbrake gaitor is a popper.undo it and below the lever youll see a long threaded shaft with a nut on it.hope this helps.

Brake Decelerometer?
what that means is they tested your car using a tapley meter.all mot stations have them if they test any permenent 4wd vehicles all though why they tested a zed using one is baffling.perhaps the rolling road died when graced by a zed!

possible gearbox and boost problems??
the filter is internal in the box.youll have to drop the sump on the gearbox to get to it.i wouldnt waste my time.brown oil and losing drive all points to one thing.ring an auto transmission specialist.my dads box kept slipping so i converted it.time to get your wallet out.

possible gearbox and boost problems??
if your box oil is brown then your box is on the way out.when the brake bands brake up the burning discolours the oil.time for a manual conversion.

turbo timer harness
you can wire them using your own loom like i did .done a search on google and found some bright spark that had fitted one to an rx7 wiring it himself.if i remember rightly it only takes 4 wires for most.an earth,handbrake signal and two off the ignition.

Rear suspension help
the rear suspension arms are on eccentric bolts for small adjustments.the most common 300zx problem is bent rear lower wishbones from a sideways kerbing.i would compare the wishbones to see if ones bent.

piston markings

advice needed............slightly worried
is the noise half engine speed.if it is then it probaly is from the valve train.is it a rattle rather than a knock.the variable cam timing operates at 3000rpm this can make noises if the springs in the hubs go weak.to prove this on the back of each rocker cover nearest the middle of the engine is a solenoid.trace the wires that come out of them and unplug them.run the engine then see if the noise goes.if it goes you have a vtc fault.check the feeds at the plugs supplying the solenoids.the correct voltage is in the nissan manual.if the feeds are there then its time to replace the vtc springs.

EGR AIVV stuff
removed my egr when the engine was out.be a pig otherwise.the pipes on the plenum are fiddly enough but the supply pipe from the n/s is a bit more tricky.i cut the flanges off to the plenum then pool welded the holes up.bin the pipe from the turbo elbow but keep the nut that secures it.also pool weld the center of the nut then refit to to the elbow.remove the valve then follow the vacuum pipe back to the o/s inner wing and blank off job done.

Speedos

Speedos
sounds like the car is still restricted.does it chime at 100kmh and will the car go off the clock?.if not you need a delimiter fitting.

MAF Mesh
the mesh over the maF IS TO PREVENT DEBRIS and sticky fingers touching the element.had them at work where a blade of grass has gone through and broken it.the element is very fragile.if a leaf got sucked in and shrouded the element it wouldnt be able to determine air flow.

most likely cause of cylinder cutting out intermitently
to be honest mate id get the car removed from the garage and get it sorted by a competent place.then id bill matey for the rectification.nissan cams dont seem to suffer with wear so why they were ground is a mystery.reckon hes telling you porkies to hide a clanger thats been dropped.
