That's not really shimming is it? That's replacing the whole thing. Nissan designates sizes from 7.88-8.40. It's not like on the ka where you can just do the shims. But it's a good place to start I suppose. Cheap but honestly too much of a pain in the ass totake off the front cover and all that shit just to replace one lifter and it possibly not be it...My only concern is I drive an 04 everyday and I've got an 06 vq in my s14 and it doesn't feel like it's making the power it should be and I'm about to supercharge it. Literally all the parts are there and I don't want to destroy the motor if adding all that air would somehow amplify my current problem. I wonder what the op ended up doing to rectify his problem.
