Choosing the Right Part

Select by engine code first. RB26DETT covers the R32, R33 and R34 GT-R twin-turbo inline six; SR20DET covers turbocharged Silvia, 180SX and 200SX applications; VR38DETT covers the R35 GT-R V6. Some GSC guides and keeper sets are listed as shared across SR20DET/RB26DETT or VR38DETT/2JZ, so check the title for both codes. Valve sizes are listed as STD, +1mm or +2mm - oversize valves and certain camshaft profiles are noted as requiring seat changes or head modification, so confirm your cylinder head specification with your engine builder before ordering.

Installation & What You'll Need

Valvetrain components require the cylinder head to be removed and, in most cases, disassembled. Valve guide replacement, seat cutting and spring installed-height checks are machine shop tasks requiring specialised tooling such as a valve spring compressor, guide drivers, a height micrometre and a spring pressure tester. Camshaft fitment requires correct valve-to-piston clearance checking and cam timing. Installation by a professional workshop or engine machinist is strongly recommended.

FAQ

Do GSC camshafts suit a standard RB26 head? Some profiles are listed as direct fit, while others state "Requires Head Modification" in the title - read the listing carefully.

Are valve springs and retainers sold as matched kits? Many GSC listings are supplied as spring and titanium retainer kits, some with seats included; the title specifies what is in the set.

What do STD and +1mm mean on valves? STD is the standard head diameter and +1mm is oversize, which may require seat machining.
