Compression test
Charge the battery up to full as this will effect the results, also bring the car up to temp before doing the test. If the compression is low it may be caused by valve problems, damaged piston rings etc... so just changing the head gasket won't help. Better to get it tested before you strip it down. That way you'll know what needs to be done. :)

Black car paint.
I don't think you can get darker than just black? What colour would you mix with it to get it darker? It's the quality of the spray job that gives you the depth mate.

Black car paint.
The black on mine is a deep black, there's no hint of another colour in it. Nissan calls it KH3 but it's just black. Get it done in 2k for the best results matey :)

Plastidip
Plasti dip do a primer as well mate but you brush it on.

Uk zed. No rust at all!!
My UK was and is rust free. There was a bit of rot on the tailgate in the middle caused by the oem spoiler but it was easily removed and fixed. Sills and underneath are spot less. Don't assume that they are all rust buckets because there are gems out there :)

Problem with the TPS or ICV sticking?

gear changing
It's not normal no. It could be a few things. Short shifters can sometimes cause this, It may be worn bushes on the gearstick, it could be a worn synchro gear in the box itself. From my limited knowledge it does sound like it's maybe a worn synchro though. Do you know what gearbox oil your using?

I need to get the above so I can laugh at my mate when I thrash him at GT5. I've had a look on ebay but was thinking that I don't want to be spending a fortune on them. Are the £10 ones up to the job?

Vibration
That's caused by not joining the two halves of the standard prop together as they were. Which leaves them unbalanced mate. Saying that I don't know what the problem is either, as I'd have said prop or wheel balance but both have been checked.
