Since everything will be apart and you will already be in there do yourself a favor a install new timing chain,gaskets,guides, tensioner,water pump, and aftermarket oil pump gears. You don’t want to have to go in there a second time. I would go with the EPS rear timing cover gallery gasket kit or Genuine Nissan.

Thanks. It has 80k miles. I referred to checking the oil level only to confirm that the oil level wasn’t the cause of low oil pressure, and in fact points to gallery gaskets. I was literally about to post asking if I should go ahead and do oil gears, so thank you! I already have a gasket kit from Z1. Here is what I got done today.
