I'm in the market for a timing chain kit...only place i can really find other then from Nissan is from FrSport.com ( http://www.frsport.com/OSK-13028-53F02- ... _3225.html ). Has anyone else used this kit before, and what input do u have towards it? thanks

Im with you but Im ganna thread jack here. I need a OEM gasket set as well as a ^. Having trouble finding the gasket kit b/c everyone says they are discontinued.... No eghey crap either.

Me, Id rather spend the time and money once and only once. Not sure if OSK is trustworthy or not.

FR sport is a legit vendor. As I haven't used that chain, but I know a buddy who does. I certainly trust their judgement in quality parts

Go with anything from FRsport for sure. AMS also sells a DOHC KA timing chain kit. Go with a full Felpro gasket set if you cannot find the oem one. I am sure if you talk to Ray at The Nismo Shop or a rep at FRSport they can certainly guide you to an OEM gasket set.

hmm. The thing is that my current motor is almost done, burns oil like a b****, leaks oil like a b****, bad gas milage, etc

I have this other one that I wanted to rebuild and drop in, along with 5speed, and possibly sell it if I could. So I dont know If I wanna spend $400 on a timing chain and gasket set. But at the same time I understand quality and I dont want a $19.99 kit from advanced or ebay. Who can I go to? Felpro?
