Spatt Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hi folks, i wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction, I don't want to go to Nissan if i can help it.

Snjur Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Maybe I'm wrong but in parts like timing chain, tensioners, water pump, oil pump I always stick to OEM stuff. OEM timing chain and tensioners have proven to work on long run covering a lot of miles b4 getting slack Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Are there any good aftermarket kits available out there? Matt No , has to be Nissan i'm afraid , they dont do a kit you will need to strip it and check what parts are requiring replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatt Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I dont need to change anything.... just wanted to change the timing gear as my mechanic said he would certainly recommend it while he does the rebuild. Parts from Nissan are around 1K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hope this helps you. I think with import and all is still less than 1k gbp which seams really bit odd price https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-oem-350z-timing-chain-kit-vq35de-03-06-z33-13028-0306kt_p_9248.php Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 These guys tend to have OEM parts a bit cheaper than the local dealer. They have a few different chains for the 350, no idea which ones are required. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Genuine-350Z-Timing-Chain-Timing-Belt-Cam-Belt-Tensioner-13028JK00A-/112158138820?hash=item1a1d2561c4:g:dtIAAOSw4shX-0j9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
