Ok guys so , cams are set at tdc : #1 lobes pointing away from lifters, and winded Pistons clockwise from my 10mm to tdc with head put on. 

Now question I have is #6 valves are open and # 6 piston is at tdc? This right ?

That's called overlap. Top of exhaust stroke, beginning of induction stroke, both valves are slightly open. Exhaust is closing, inlet it opening.

Ah got it , so it’s correct as it is yes ?

i know when I set the timing ... the right time this time that things should align probably

Yes it is correct. Whenever a cylinder is on compression/firing stroke (ie, #1 in this case) then the other cylinder that is also at TDC will be on the exhaust/induction overlap.

Thank you for being so informative gtst, this is awesome ! So seems like I’m on the right path and all is good!

 

@ben that’s how I got them back from the shop , but I didn’t torque head down yet. Just mocking everything up and make sure it’s all ok.

now just gotta wait for my days off to get it all assembled and done!

Yes, but they still look concerning. Viz the circled examples.....

All of this looks very unimpressive. Got some closeups?

Ohhhh they put assembly lube on them ! Yeah kinda looks like shit from that close up but I can assure all Rust is of and they lubed all lobes!

thanks for the heads up tho gtst ! You’ve been of upmost help

Set everything to time on the cams and crank. And get everything bolted down , now time to put on belt and torque the cam bolts after. 

Thank you everyone for the much appreciated help! I think this time around I got things right lol

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
