The timing belt drives one cam (I think the exhaust) in each cylinder bank, while
a chain drives the second cam from the first.
So there's one timing belt, and two, small, timing chains.
Never heard of anyone having a problem with the chains.

True, but it gives you an audible warning of wear. My Nissans both made that noise, and I left it
go until it got loud, then replaced them. I think it was the tensioner that went on the 240sx.
