Look under "everything you need to know about the Z32", look under the FSM and it has a step by step procedure.

Basically line the dots up and count the cogs. If you get a new belt, about $20ish dollars, it will have lines that will help out with the alignment.

spin the cams back to their proper position, there's a mark on the cam and the rear cam cover.
For the tensioner; put it in a vice and slowly turn it in so it ends up with the correct 4mm gap. Then insert the stopper bolt. Put the timing belt on and count the teeth between the markings.
