cam belt
Greddy do some... got one on mine, but I don't think you'll get one from where mine came from!! Wouldn;t go as far as saying indestructible though - if something seizes, it's gonna get ripped to shreds! Prob worth it when you're upping the boost or going for big power, but it's only a stronger belt - nothing else... Maybe try danny at DTA - he imports a lot of stuff from the states, or you could try Z1, CZP etc yourself... Rich

Boost leak test
try rotating the crank slightly... it's possible one cylinder is on overlap so you'll lose pressure through the exhaust valve...

Online Physics game...
i played it for hours last night... some of the cleverest machines on there are the ones which break to complete the task - when I first saw one, i thought it was never going to work, then a link snaps and it catapults through the air!

Switchable HICAS?
nope - that's what the honda system does though.
-
Switchable HICAS?
Hicas doesn't aid low speed manouevres - only high speed... you can short the power steering fluid sensor to lock the hicas... thing is, most hicas problems are because the arms & bushes are shot - so it's best to either fix it properly or bin it (and still replace the arms if necessary!) Rich

Swapping UK dials over....
apparently you can... http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=1039006&postcount=4

Swapping UK dials over....
just realised - he doesn't mean just swapping the dial faces - the entire unit... i.e. the gubbins too!
-
Swapping UK dials over....
It will work - ecu only sends a pulsed signal regardless of whether the car is euro/ jap/ etc... the clock that you put in converts the signal to a dial output... I believe that you can swap the odometer over too.. but not 100%... I think AndyP posted about it a long time ago... hth Rich

Exhaust
yes - as long as it seals the leak...

Overheated (again) this time temp gauge fine?
don't tape it in! it shouldn't be under that much pressure... you need to find out what the cause is!!
-
Overheated (again) this time temp gauge fine?
stock temp gauge? They're notorious for sitting bang in the middle until it's WAY overheated... You'd be better getting it recovered home unless you can find and fix the leak... AA/ RAC? Just not worth risking damage..

Gearbox removal

Faded Paintwork
You could try detailingworld - I know Peach is a member on there... it's amazing what can be done with the right compounds and a random orbit polisher! There's a few people who will do detailing work - FunkiSi had his done I believe...

gone through red light! - have to have fine?
I know 2 people it's happened to - one being me!! As my dad's a retired policeman, they received a rather lengthy letter to that effect... result: "after reviewing the contents of your letter, it has been decided that no further action will be taken in this instance" My missus also works for a central payments unit - and we have lots of arguments about it - you wouldn't believe how slack some of the regulations are followed! They operate on the basis of try to collect fine, if any representations are made it is passed on for review...

gone through red light! - have to have fine?
Well you probably will hear - and have to send them a polite notice pointing out that you haven't been notified within 14 days... assuming your DVLA records are correct: if not, the police can issue NIP outside of 14 days to allow a reasonable time to trace you...

in-car dvd
you'll be able to re-wire it to stop the drain... probably just a problem with it powering from the permanent live instead of switched live...
