Have tried searching but can only find a setting of 14 thou mentioned. Can anybody tell me what the metric equivalent is for the Nissan 2.7.

Inlet and Exhaust are the same.

As you said, 0.014 in (14thou), which is 0.35 mm.

Valve clearances. These valve gaps (tappets) are 14 thou hot.Inlet and exhaust are the same.Get the engine hot and take out the heater plugs,turn the engine with a 19mm spanner on the power steering pulley.With Number one at TDC on firing stroke set valves 1,2,3 and 6.With number 4 at TDC on the firing stroke.set valves number 4,5,7 and 8.Turning the engine till the inlet has opened will determine the firing stroke,placing a finger over the heater plug hole will confirm the piston rising on compression.
