when i asked in the n/a part i was asked "why i wanted to make my car into a racecar" because i want bigger cams

Dont listen to them. Cams are a personal thing some people love big cams, some people hate 'em. If you like the sound of an engine with bigger cams in it, then for an n/a engine with the mods your car alrady has on it, cams and tuning to suit are a logical step.

^^ agreed

its just proving a little hard too find cams to go in the r34 non turbo at the moment all i can seem to find is the ones for turbo.

Im not 100% sure on this but you might find your best bet is to go with r33 rb25det cams, and change the cam angle sensor drive in the front of the cam to suit your r34 cam angle sensor. Im pretty sure r34 turbo are solid cam, where as non turbo is hydraulic, so for simplicity if you stay with hydraulic cams from other rb25 engines, other than the cam angle sensor i think they should fit straight in (any one feel free to tell me if i've over looked something else). Im not sure what the assembled height of the valve spring on the non turbo neo is like compared to the turbo rb25, i wouldn't think it could possibly be any worse, so valve springs should to be able to be sorted one way or another.

If you add adjustable cam wheels, then the fact that they are "turbo cams" really should not matter, as long as the lift and duration are relatively larger than standard. Whoever tunes the car will be able to adjust the lobe seperation to suit n/a application with the cam wheels. For all intents and purposes, lobe seperation is the biggest difference between n/a cams and turbo cams, so with adjustable cam wheels, this is not such an issue.

Hope that helps, but like i said dont quote me on this. Im going on memory for all of it, and i may have overlooked something. But it would be a good place to start

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
