[jimmyZ32]

Hey, i have a 1990 300zx. 180k on the clock. Changing my Timing belt this weekend, What timing Belt kit do you guys recommend?

stick with oem

I think he means the 60k or 120k kit. I think at 180k you go back to the 60k kit, but if you want to replace all the idlers and tensions, go for the 120k kit.

120k sounds good. Stay oem?

He is trying to say don't go cheap like on ebay. I know Bigtdogg had a recommended timing belt kit versus like three different other places. Like this one:

Versus this one, dont get:

You want a known good brand, oem, for a belt and pulleys. If the belt breaks, its usually catastrophic, you most likely will need a rebuild.

i'm pretty sure he was asking oem or some cheap kit, just get a nissan oem 120k kit and call it a day.

Yeah i was asking if i should go some ebay kit, or get an OEM Nissan kit but i get it. Oem is always better. I was on the conceptZ website looking at the kit. Should i get any specific belt, or just oem?

OEM is the number one choice, gates has never failed me.

I have also used gates timing belts/drive belts/water pumps on other vehicles with zero problems.
