You'd have to inspect the chain tensioner to see if there's any adjustment left, if not it's time for a change. But the chains themselves are supposed to last approx 120-150k mls according to my local Nissan dealer. If the timing chain snapped it's goodbye engine (valves, pistons, etc). If it slipped a tooth, then it would run rougher & might be difficult to start.
Thanks for the reply , sorry but I'm a novice when it comes to engines, chain tensioner? How would I check the adjustment on that, would I need to remove the rocker cover etc? Thanks again
Yes, you need to remove the rocker cover & check the tensioner & chain. A Haynes manual would serve you well 
Cheers mate , yeah I'll have to get one , thanks again
Nice car..I like the plans to put ph2 rear lights on and leaving the ph1 headlights on.I had ph2 rears on my old sport and they looked good,straight swap-use a hot air gun to soften the adhesive and make sure you seal the new ones well.
Thanks for the comments and advise, all just a work in progress at the moment
