What do I need to know before fixing NISMO cams?
I am recieving my R-tune cams in a couple of days and I want to do it the right and safest way 
I will be doing it at my friends workshop wich he already is familiar with such a job (given that he changed some cams for Maximas)!
My car is at the agent now and I requested them to raise the idle to 850 as I read somewhere in this forum.
I know it says NO ECU adjustment is required, but I still feel that things might go wrong. Any help or feedback is most welcomed
Thanks

You may consider getting the ecu re-flashed after the install to maximize the timing and air-fuel. I had this done on my car and it helped when I had the cams in at the time.

Nissan has the consult II and I beleive they can advance the timing for you.
I understand you're living overseas and you wont be able to get a reflash. I highly recommend getting a piggyack such as the UTEC or EU, you'll be running lean as metioned above.

Is 2 degrees of timing advancement the magic figure OR it differs from a car to another?
