Chain replacements....

I am replacing the chains, guides, cam gears, tensioner, and water pump. Do you know of any places i can get it for "cheap"? Keep in mind it must be good quality lol

Ok, so I'm assuming this is for an 00-01?

No reason to do cam gears or a water pump unless something is wrong. With the extent of this job, I would rather swap a used low mileage engine in tehre.

http://www.thepartsbin.com/ has "kits" to fit your needs.

When I did my timing chains (had a bad tensioner but decided to replace timing chains as well) I went ahead and replaced the water pump just because it's only about $80 and super easy to install when you already have the timing cover opened. I did have to replace a cam sprocket because I damaged it while I was taking it off but to the OP you more than likely won't need to replace any sprockets. I'm not sure about the VQ30 but I know the VQ35 intake sprocket cost an arm and a leg (over $300).

That's true actually, I did the opposite when I changed my water pump on my VQ30(changed tensioners & chains at the same time) So yeah, you're right.
