Late model Maximas including yours do not use timing belt. It has a timing chain instead, here is how to replace the timing chain with instructions in the diagrams below.


17 - Secondary Chain 130287Y010 $13.17
17 - Timing Chain Crankshaft 130287Y000 $44.27
Labor 9.1

Includes: R&I Front Timing Cover.

For reference, thus if you looked at current new cars most of them now recommend replacement timing chain replacement of around 100-120,000 miles. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
