do NA's have a limp mode?
Its not listed because they were not available from nissan uk, only twin turbo lwb versions were. Its a good suggestion you got there from jaffa, and you can easy get them to check that at your work, take two seconds, make sure you check it in gear. Timing changes in neutral. Its probably not dett occurring its most likly a duff sensor or harness. If you do get a timing reduction, reset the ecu and try again with the code cleared.

water leak from rad
just park it up on a flat dry surface and see where it drops down, failing rad caps are common, as are overfilled or cracked expansion bottles(results in water coming out near the passenger front wheel. the two little pipes that connect the heads to the top hard pipe on the block also fail. if its a twin turbo model the water cooling for the turbos happily split causing steam at the rear of the block. try to work out roughly where in the bay its coming from and if it occurs all the time the engines on, only when hot(pressurised) or just constantly.

Cambelt Kit
Replace as much as humanly possible, the engine is 20 years old now or more. Replace what you can when you can, otherwise you will be tearing things apart to get at things you saw 6 months ago but didn't change when it was easy. Ive got a oil tree gasket to change, I should of done it when the block was out it would have taken me 10 minutes, instead I chose not to, it leaks now im stuck lol.

Rear subframe bushes...
I assume you mean those doughnut shaped bits pressed into the floor pan at the rear, I dont use the chassis rail or sil to jack the car as ive learnt that lesson the hard way with previous cars.

Rear subframe bushes...
When doing this where do you put the axelstands? I normally jack on the subframe, which would onbviously be useless.

Snapped elbow studs
hrmmmm yes gold rods I think, allow you to weld mid to stainless, or cast etc(cast is a knob though as expansion needs to take place at the correct rate his requires preheating to do the job correctly) obviously it goes without saying you cannot weld aluminium to steel.

anyone cut and fitted vents in there bonnet
Yupnormally over the coilpacks and injectors or over the ptu and cas.
-
anyone cut and fitted vents in there bonnet
It seems to cause electrical gremlins, and im sure I read somewhere that the engine bay is designed to allow hot air to circulate up and over, not create a hot pocket. If you stance the bonnent or make holes in it you stop that circulation.
