Given the cars are apparently so uncommon there, its likely that the shop was confusing the VG30E with the VE30DE. VG30Es in our Maximas did not come with VTCs, whereas the VE30DE has a reputation...

Oh boy, you're starting on that mofo of a project. I don't envy you. Hopefully you'll have a better go of it than I did. I am loathe to do another timing belt with the engine in LOL

You shouldn't need to adjust the rod. It very likely needs to be bled, or, failing that, the slave/master is bad. You'll know if the master is bad if you see brake fluid leaking from the master where...
