Aftermarket vs. Dealer Timing Chain Kits?
 

Could anyone with experience with replacing their DOHC timing chain comment on pros/cons of dealer parts vs. aftermarket parts?

Obviously aftermarket parts are less expensive in general, but are there any parts that absolutely MUST be factory?

Typically the kits I've seen include both chains, all three sprockets, 2 guides and two tensioners, with appropriate hardware. Anything else needed?

Thanks!

Well, that one very.... enthusiastic vote for OEM :D

Anyone else have any experience?

Thanks

unless you buy the aftermarket is from a company that knows nissan engines (i.e has taken the time to do research on the factory specs and improved on them and not just cut costs) i would and have gone oem. there are some good companies out there you can trust but the specs on the oem kit are rated up to 250-275chp. you can get more but nissan techs dont advise it. so unless your looking to boost more than that stick with oem. buynissanparts.com has cheaper prices than most dealers and is oem
