Thanks for the pics - hadn't known about that website. It won't load properly for me right now, but will try again later.
Am really puzzled that the 1.6 is shown in your pics as having two separate chains... Weird? But part differences aside, do you reckon it'd be necessary to do both sprockets and chain, or just chain? ta ;) |

If you ask me, I'd change both chain and sprockets if it's open anyway. That said, it also depends on how much the sprockets are and if any wear is visible on the teeth.
Others may have a different opinion |

Eeehm, isee that i pointed to the wrong engine. The qg16 has one chain.

Just looking on nissan4u.com again, it seems that the sprockets could be the same on the 1.6 and the 1.8 .
You'd better check with your exact model, as there is achoice in types. If in doubt, you could always inquire at your local stealership... And then buy someplace else. |

Yeah, shit happens if you want to do things too quick. The link in the latter post is to the other 1.6 the qg16 |

Finally managed to load the website - seriously useful stuff.
Learned a couple of things today: if I'm not mistaken, the actual chain seems to be the same for all of the QG engines, but the camshaft sprockets are NOT the same for QG15DE and QG16DE, at least for a Primera QG16DE vs. an Almera QG15DE. (Dunno why that is, but maybe the Almera doesn't have VTC? Actually, I'm not at all sure where the mechanical differences with VTC show up anyway...) Am now thinking of just ordering the chain+guides from Ebay, cos no kits with QG16DE sprockets seem to be showing up "out there". Hopefully the main problem is chain wear! Thanks again for the help |

Hey all...
Hoping you can help - the garage is installing the timing chain for me as we speak. BUT - they have discovered that various gaskets and O-rings need to be replaced, and these weren't in the kit. (It contained chain, guides, tensioner.) They're trying to source 'em all right now, but they are drawing a blank on the four O-rings for the timing chain cover. Does anyone have any tips for where these might be bought? thanks! Neil |

You will probably have to buy a full gasket set. There's at least one on eBay at the mo. Will cost you around £70 - £80 for the set. |
