Hey guys,
Talking about tensioners for the 2 litre. There was a thread awhile ago
about not being able to get the original tensioner from Nissan, but you
could put it together using other nissan engine tensioners. Z maybe.
Could someone please clear this up for me and let me know the good part #'s.
thanks
