Timing Chain Question

Hey all i will be joining the 3.5 club fairly soon and was just wondering if either the Cloyes, ITM, or DNJ timing kit is any good? please point me in the right direction as i want to put new 3.0 timing components onto the Vq35.

Oem or bust. Something like that I wouldn't trust to get aftermarket unless its a BIG after market brand like greddy or whatever.

I do agree with climaxx. However I have run cloyes before when oem was not an option and never had an issue.

Great! I ran a Cloyes timing chain on an L-series 4 cylinder since I thought it was an awesome well known brand for decades! The timing kit was made in Japan I noticed on the box....But the double roller timing chain stretched about 55,000 miles later and I went OEM Nissan after that and from now on 4ever and ever! GL
