Default Valve Lifters

Does anyone know where I can get 8.4mm valve lifters for the vq35de?
Nissan has a national backorder and theres no saying when they'll get them. I need three.

i assume you mean valve shims.. there are no lifters in this engine.. unless by VQ you mean Chevy 350.

They're called valve lifters in the service manual and here:

But they don't have the 8.4.

Maybe you could buy some hardened steel shim stock, and grind a piece to fit inside the lifter. Try here:

Look at the top left for discs.

Guys, need to buy those lifters.. i'm stuck!

CourtesyParts are always late to reply to my emails, and i've checked other shops online, but they don't offer international shipping.

locally they're out of stock and restocking will take a month, and i can't wait that long..

help plzzz!

Well then why don't you call them? Ask for Billy Buzbee, if he's busy say you'll hold.
