For the record, I looked up the part #'s for turbo vs non-turbo of the same year... (there is NO difference between turbo v non-turbo)

I also contacted nismoparts.com and they are currently out of stock for the tensioner. He said about 1 month. The idler is in stock.

2 weeks ago I ordered the rearsump pickup, pan, o ring, timing belt ,tensioner,and idler pulley from nismoparts.com for my swap.Not too bad of a pricing... Shea told me he has everything in stock except the idler..which is a month backorder...I just wish he'd send the rest of my parts...

Too bad I didn't see this thread earlier..my motor woulda been back together..

I just figured this out the other day, but do not get the lower idler pulley for the Z32. The snout on it is too long and you cannot get the lower timing cover on if you install the Z32 one. Also its diameter is larger, but a decent amount which makes the timing belt a biotch to install.

You might be able to get away with using that one if you can trim a 1/4-1/2 off the snout of the Z32 snout
