Call them. Get the tensioners also, and the oil pump chain if you are smart.

Welcome to NICO. You're starting off right by doing the chain guides. It's a bit of an expensive first repair but needs to be done to help ensure that the engine will last many 100's of thousand of miles.

EverythingInfiniti only lists the more popular parts for online ordering and like Brian said your best bet is to call and ask for Joe. In addition to 25% off MSRP they are also giving an additional 5% during August. Due to popular demand they do have a kit put together for us but I would still read up on the necessary parts here in this forum to make sure that you get it all the first time. IIRC you're looking at about $700-800 for new parts. There's lots of info on chain guide p/n, prices and R&R using the search button.

I've also seen new kits (bought but never used) available on ebay and in our parts forum in the $250 range and even cheaper for used sets pulled out of a 94-96Q. New parts are always best (except for hood struts) and members standards vary but.....if money's tight these are a couple more options for you.

Ok,

I found some on roackauto.com, they looks to be metal but it is no written.I will call everythinginfiniti tomorow.

On something that critical, I would go OEM only on the guides. Welcome to NICO!
