My fiance works at a dealership, and can get me a complete timing chain kit for $159. Is this a good price? Only other price I saw on CourtestParts.com was $388.

Let me know, thanks!

i think the courtesy nissan kit comes with a waterpump, which you most likely dont need. but, yes that is a very good price for a full kit. i got mine from alloemautoparts.com for a little more then that.

Depends on what is in the "kit"

You can just get away with new tensioners, guides and possibly a chain.

That's a good price. THe only better price I've found was when I bought mine for 80 bucks, it was a misprint though and I got lucky that they honored it.

Overnightautoparts had a price mistake on the timing chain kits serveral months ago. That's how some people got it for $65. See this thread: http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....34876
