Bad timing chain tensioner effect on timing?
Title says it all. I have a bad timing chain tensioner. It rattles like hell on cold starts, and even when hot, you can sort of hear the chain if you pop the hood. Can this affect timing?

ohh yes, I forgot you have to use the vq30 timing chain stuff on the vq35...
yeah 95/96 have that tensionor problem, I had it when I first got the car, got louder as the rpms went up... fixed it tho and hasnt came back since, I think I sometimes get it on cold startups but it goes away...
You should get it fixed, before the chain does stretch
