timing belt, tensioner change out question

[limited edition se]

Can anyone give me info on when they had this done and also can I convert it to a chain and is that advisable?

Thanks

Un less you have a motor swap it is a chain just some advice when you go to change the tensioners on the upper chain which is 90% the problem you can just leavr the upper and left side guide off and change the tensioner on the right side of the upper chain (nissan said these parts were not needed)

Had just went to dealer where car was originally bought they said I had a belt...I will go somewhere else to find out what is up. Thank you and I am not a mechanic...so I find that alot of them don't know s--t.

thank you
