It's a chain. The answer to this and many other Maxima questions may be found at Steve Cutchen's excellent MaxFAQs page, http://web2.airmail.net/scutchen/max_faq/.

Chains, which is hwy I don't get alot of the routine maintenance questions saying they want to take their car to the dealer for a timing belt change. I think even the Altimas have a chain.
