Simon I have done a couple of these in situ, allow about 6 hours. Buy timing chains, guides, tensioners from Nissan, I seem to remember they cost around £400 no gaskets involved Nissan supply a tube of red goo which seems to work even if it's a bit messy. ( looks like red Hermatite if you are old enough to remember it ) Take your time and ensure the gold links in the chains are spot on with the gear wheel marks and all will be fine. Malcolm
