    Yeah, I think you mean SR20.
    CA has got no rocker arms.

    Changing shims under the springs won‘t change the length of the valve stem, would it?

    :no:
    Gauge and ECU use different sensors.

    Have a look at the factory manual, ECU diagnostics is covered very well in there with which voltage should be under which circumstances etc.

  14. Why do RWD cars run more tyre pressure on the rear?

    Hi

    ...well... why?

    I always assumed pressure and weight on the wheel correspond to each other. More weight - more pressure.
