yep Rogue, your info is right.  was all to good to be true, the series 2 chain and spockets are indeed different and the tensioner has a longer bolt (luckily it can be swapped over).

Bas, yeah tried auto lab and just about everyone else in NZ and even OZ.

The cheapest I could find is from a place in Australia called Precision, $172 incl delivered, thats with $35 freight (all NZ $)
cheapest in NZ was Appco at $222 incl but thats just for chain and sprockets, no tensioner. Segidens was cheapest for just chain at $8 but they out of stock until new year.

I had to shoot south this weekend so quickly just changed tensioners

oh and you can't just get the timing chain cover gasket, you have to get the whole front set (water pump gaskets, front seal ..) for $66
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
