the car you have listed in your profile is a Z33 but you posted this in the KA section.... I take it you have a 240 also??

Chain replacement not necessary IMHO. Just get those guides out and desludge/replace the tension. Very easy job. Make sure you have RTV and possible a new valve cover gasket. Search for tutorial. gl

ninja edit: deerrrr I assume you have a DOHC KA. For SOHC KA its a slightly different procedure.. search is your friend

Remove the valve cover than shine a light down along the chain. The guide on the drivers side should have a plastic rail on it. If it's gone then the chain is riding along the metal backing plate that used to hold the plastic guide.
