Over heat cycles, the factory nylon guide shoes score, crack, and delaminate, resulting in the characteristic primary chain \"chainsaw buzz\" on cold starts. Excessive slack causes camshaft retard, erratic cam\/crank correlation fault codes (P0011, P0021), and valve-to-piston interference if a jump occurs. Additionally, servicing the buried internal water pump separately requires duplicating hours of labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive kit features high-tensile link-channel timing chains engineered to resist mechanical elongation under sustained high-RPM operation. Upgraded vulcanized friction pads on the primary and secondary guide rails offer superior thermal and friction resistance over factory plastics. Paired with updated hydraulic tensioners to maintain stable chain tension across all oil pressures, this kit includes a heavy-duty, flow-matched water pump to complete the front-timing overhaul in a single teardown service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Timing Chain Lower (196 link channel back)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Timing Chains Upper (1 left and 1 right)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Upper (secondary left side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Tensioner Upper (secondary right side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (smallest - left fixed, 2 bolt holes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (new style - right tensioner rail)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Guide Rail (new style - top)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Cam Sprockets External (2 required secondary)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Crank Sprocket (26 teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2004-2008 Nissan Maxima\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DE\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eA34\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e265 hp \/ 255 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13024-AL50A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13025-EA22A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13021-AL51A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13028-JK20B\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13028-JK00A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13085-AL511\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13085-JK20A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13091-JK20A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13070-8J14D\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13070-EY00A\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e13070-8J14C\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eB1010-AL50B\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2004-2008 Nissan Maxima (3.5L V6 DOHC 24-Valve VQ35DE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the A34 Maxima?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eInternal cam sprockets (52\/36 teeth) are not included and must be inspected and reused or purchased separately.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre internal variable valve timing (VVT) sprockets included in this kit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, this kit includes only external secondary cam sprockets and the crank sprocket; internal cam phaser sprockets must be sourced separately if worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Nissan VQ Platform Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe award-winning \u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DE\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers responsive high-RPM power, but preserving valve timing accuracy is critical to keeping this performance V6 operating smoothly and reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68058785972472,"sku":"DS-E3FX39S6T","price":122.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-nissan-maxima-2004-2008-3-5l-1.jpg?v=1794363420","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-timing-chain-kit-for-nissan-maxima-2004-2008-3-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
