Is the cost justified at courtesynissan.com for the timing set or did they just pump up the price...I bought a set from a website but they decided they dont ship out of US anymore so Im kinda screwed as local stores dont care any of the timing components, i need both guides, tensioner and the chain. For those 3 parts it will be 200 dollars and shipping seems to be set for just ovet 60 bucks....i dont see it being justified. Any other stores i can snag it from that ship to ****ing canada?

 

just off the top of my head:
www.napaautoparts.com
wasn't sure of your exact year, but they list two timing kits for an 82 ZX NA, one for $98, one for $124 (different manufacturers).
Of course, looks like they only work through their franchises (is NAPA in Canada?).

I got my timing set (see the first gen forum) for about US$80, local independent parts house. Installed it last night, seems like great parts (chain, tensioner, both guides, both sprockets), except for no marks on the timing links (not a big deal, just annoying). Shipping from US to Canada shouldn't be more than like $30, I'd guess?

edit: www.autopartsgiant.com has 5 different sets available (Cloyes, ITM, Melling, others), for US$63 to US$115. I think they ship to Canada.

hope this helps,
Dave

 

skully just use cloyes timing set from the local store, its just as good as stock, and will handle 9000 rpm for 200,000km
