Yea anyone know where I can get some shims for a s13 Blacktop? I know measurement is required to specifically balance each set of springs to a rocker arm but I just need to know where to order them.

You can get them from any dealer. I sell them all the time, let me know what sizes you need and Ill price them for you.

They range from 2.800mm to 3.200mm

No im under the impression that for each rocker arm, which sits on two valves, there is 1 spacer shim on one valve and one guide shim on the other. So it should be 8 of each shim type making it $86.56. Als can the shims from the sr20de (FWD) work straight from Nissan?

Yes there is one valve shim and one guide shim for each rocker arm. And yes the pricing I quoted you are the SR20DE (FWD) coming direct from Nissan. Every size has a different part number.
