Was wondering what all you veterans out there do to replace your stock timing chain when it becomes a problem. I am looking for the highest quality (possibly Kit?) replacement for the stock setup.

Running the s-13 Ka24de.

Thanksm :)

These people have the best price I know of and it'll be there VERY fast even if you dont pay to overnight it. http://catalog.overnightautopa....y=14It's also made by the OEM manufacturer of Nissan's kits so the quality is up to par. When I compared it to what came off my engine, it actually looked better :)

Thanx Nathan, appreciate it :)

Is this better than OEM though? I read what it has to offer, and it looks like it's just OEM replacement?

That is a damn good price. It's usually at least $300. Does it have the updated guides, not the crappy ones my car came with?

It's made by the oem manufacturer but for some reason it's a much better quality than what was on my car. It makes me wonder if one of the previous owners changed it out with a cheap autozone kit or something. I'd have to see another verifiable OEM chain and guides to tell.
