This is the Genuine Nissan timing chain set specifically for the 3.0L V6 (V9X) diesel engine. Located internally at the front of the engine behind the timing cover, this complete kit contains the essential components required to synchronise the engine's crankshaft and camshafts, ensuring correct mechanical timing and efficient operation. This set is a direct replacement for the original components on specified Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 models.

Timing chains stretch and their plastic guides can become brittle and fail over time, leading to poor performance, rough idling, a rattling noise from the front of the engine, or a check engine light with timing-related fault codes. Replacing a worn timing chain set is critical maintenance. Using an inferior aftermarket kit risks premature failure, which can cause catastrophic and expensive internal engine damage. 

As specialists in Nissan 4WD parts, we supply quality components backed by our expert advice. We offer fast dispatch across Australia to get you back on the road quickly.

Installation Notes 

Replacing a timing chain is a complex and time-consuming workshop job that requires significant engine disassembly. This task is recommended for experienced mechanics with the correct specialised tools for setting the timing on the V9X engine. It is strongly recommended to also replace the engine oil, oil filter, and coolant during this job. The water pump and front crankshaft seal are also commonly replaced at the same time to prevent future failures.
