Glad to hear you got it running. I've done my fair share of VG timing belts over the years. These days I pick up a Gates "Timing Belt Componant Kit w/ Water Pump" from Rockauto.com. It comes with a new belt, tensioner and water pump and the parts are of good quality. I also throw in a new thermostat, drive belts and front seals, all of which I use genuine Nissan parts. On older VG's, I also reseal the welsch plug on the front of the right bank cylinder head if it shows signs of coolant seapage. You have to keep in mind that it'll be 60,000 or 105,000 miles (depending on which belt is used on that particular engine) before that belt is due for replacement again, so you'll want related parts to last that long, as well. Falls under the "do it once and do it right" catagory.
