Has anyone ever heard of the Maxima engines being a "Resistance" engine therefore needing a new timing belt at exactly 60,000 miles or your engine will blow? I got this info from a very reliable source and am very worried because my Maxima has 52,000 miles on it. Should I just replace it now so I don't have to worry anymore, or should I wait until I get closer to 60,000 miles. Or maybe just not even replace it at all????

Oh yea! Will twin turbos fit on my 2000 SE 5sp? I want to beat my dad's SRT4 and I think this will do it.

 

Isn't a chain instead of a belt??
VG30 = belt
VQ30 = Chain

Chain are good for life (depending on how you drive)
Hard acceleration and compression isn't good for a chain but much better than a belt

 

I hate to deflate your 'very reliable source' but all Nissan V6 DOHC cam engines use timing chains, not timing belts and they never have to be replaced.

Well, maybe if you're rebuilding one that's 150k-200k miles old, it might be a good idea just because you're rebuilding the whole thing so why not but other than that, forget timing chains as being a concern

 

Ok I will leave it alone. How do I tell if my car is a VG30 or a VQ30? Also do you know what make a Maxima a "titanium" package?

Also, what about twin turbos?
