Mechanic is having trouble with the different height valve springs. If going solid eliminates the Vct does that mean I can use same height valve springs on each side?

Have Tomei Solid 272 cams 9.25 lift as well as the Tomei lifters, What springs would I need to make this work with my current parts and will I need anthing else?

because the springs are different lengths on each side and the cams run big clearance he says he is having trouble figuring out what springs I need and how to make it work with what I have. He has suggested to me buying a whole supertech kit, but the supetech kit has same size valve springs on each side, and he keeps telling me I need different sizes on each side to make my parts work so I am also really confused and not too great with this stuff

Your not the first person to do this. Im sure its not as hard as he is making out. I would take above advice

He is contradicting himself and in my opinion whenever someone is doing that, they arent real sure what they are doing

Managed to talk to someone from crow cams that happened to be there who said he did a conversion not too long ago. Said because the springs are different size you need two different springs that aren't even listen as rb25 springs and said he would get the part numbers for me. He also suggested buying a washer seat on the exhaust side to  make it the right height.

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
