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.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
