Lucky Sod!!
I'm sure he won't really appreciate it. Things that you work for are much more important than freebies.

Membership pack.......
I think that was exceptional ! ;)

Membership pack.......
They are sent out in batches, partly because the membership cards are individually printed and partly purely for practical reason, so it can sometimes take a while.
-
Membership from NZ?
Don't worry about it, the pack is not large, so postage will not be excessive.
-
Membership from NZ?
We never really intended, or perhaps that is expected, to have overseas members, but as this only happens very, very occasionally, just pay the normal fee and we'll absorb the extra postage costs.

Philosphical Question 2
The hole is full of incredibly dense material that only becomes denser as more material is added, therefore increasing the gravitational attraction of material into the hole. So I'd guess that the "hole" is not infinitely large.

hold and power button
The Japanese automatic transmission has many more features than the export models. A "power", "normal" and "hold" switch is fitted to modify transmission shift points. The effect of the "power" setting is to delay upshifting, but does not alter the maximum RPM that change occurs. In order to change at the red line or rev limiter speed, one must operate the shifter manually. The hold setting allows holding prevents downshift into second when the shifter is set to "D", and prevents downshift into first when the shifter is in "2". Another curious feature with the Japanese version is that lock up is also available in second gear.

Strange key fob problem
Wireless video senders are a big cause of this, but in theory any wireless transmitter can interfere with another if the frequencies are close enough.

Infiniti is coming
My old boss in the US had an Infinity G35, it was basically a 2+2 350Z with a funky gearbox.

I have socketed dozens and dozens of them, both for individuals and for some traders as part of their services.

My overheating escapades
It sounds to me like a water circulation problem, whether that is caused by the pump, a blockage or by an airlock it's difficult to tell.

Larger front discs queory
I know this is not scientific and it's only the exceptions not the norm you'll see here, but check Google images for cracked drilled discs.
-
Larger front discs queory
Agreed, but you'll find a lot more on disks that have about 120 additional stress points built in !

Larger front discs queory
I bet you that if you examined the discs with crack detection dyes or X-rays etc, then every single one would have cracks !

Xenon trouble
Just like it's always the "network" and if it's not the network then it's the "firewall" on the network.
-
Xenon trouble
My guess is you have a bad connection in there somewhere, when the current draw is great enough then it arcs out and the current drops to nothing. You may be able to prove this with a multimeter when the bulb is not working. I'd suggest you remove/clean and or replace all the related connections you can find, including the earths, which are the most likely culprits.

Not quite the post I had planned....
Quite likely you have an airlock in the water system, bleeding it a few times with the nose raised a little usually helps.
