I'm thinking of upgrading my R33 GTR camshaft to 272 stage 2 with valve spring. I've heard that several modification has to be done. Maybe head shimming or something with the valve / shim the tappet as the lift is higher. Please advise. As i know for stage one camshaft (272 also), i've installed into my friend's car without any modification on the head and no problem to date. Any advise is highly appreciated.

Don't make my mistake. I ordered valve guides, springs and retainers after I bought my step 2 cams. There was a lot of additional machining/shimming.

Buy the set with the cams as they will all be matched. Should only have the machining to clear the lobes and basic shimming to do then.

HUH????Just buy the cams and springs.....mill out the head....then fit them in and adjust the shims......whats "the set"????

Main issues are the valve guides and retainers - apparently there are a number of different types depending on the lift (or "Step") of the cam. I haven't talked to the workshop that did the head work, but at a guess I would say I bought the "Step Pro" instead of the "Step 2".

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
