i don't think that nissan has a spec of what is allowable--after a quick glance all i saw was a max spec of warpage in which they consider the head to be junk.

most of the time on newer cars there is a zero tolerance on head shaving. if there is warpage the accepted method(in the aftermarket) is to heat the head and straighten it

i personally would not shave the VQ head at all considering the fitment of the timing covers/upper oil pan.

None. The timing chain would be off if you shaved it any realistic amount. Get new pistons.
