Whenever you need parts just check out the different ads on this board, I have found everything on them.

Here is a complete kit for your Altima (I searched for you)

that's the same company as alloemautoparts.com

I bought my timing kit for my last S13 from them and it did well.

On my new S13 im running a timing kit from S.A. Gear and I'm impressed. S.A. makes their kits with updated parts and borrowing specs from newer KA's, instead of reproducing the original 14 year old components.

do NOT buy a kit from Topline or innerfireengine on eBay. those are the "aftermarket" low quality companies youve heard of. I'd go with S.A. in a heartbeat but depending on your budget, theyre more expensive and the link previously given to you is for a decent quality kit. If youre just replacing the lower guides, i'd definitely consider replacing the whole kit.

Check some of NICO's advertisers. Dan of Midway Parts is the man. There's also Pinnacle or another common place is Courtesyparts. Check those places out. Personally for parts like timing chains and other critical parts, I put much more faith in the quality of OEM parts. Just me though.

Yo! Need an excellent aftermarket OEM spec timing chain kit with nice, new, shiny guides (that are NOT weak plastic), with tensioner, retainers and the whole shabang for CHEAP?
