Just called Everything Nissan-Infiniti, aka Scottsdale Infiniti Parts.

Perhaps I misunderstood, I thought that the replacement Kevlar timing belts were rated for 105,000 miles.

The parts guy (not Joe) was puzzled when I aske him to confirm a part number to see if my current belt(replaced 5/98 @ 36K @ Scottsdale Infiniti) was the kevlar 105K belt. He had never heard of a 105K timing belt. He put me on hold and went and asked 3 tech who had never heard of this either.

What gives?

So I dropped another $165.00 on a timing belt, waterpump and driver's side outer tie rod end (cracked boot).

Water pump seems fine but since I'm in there I might as well do it. I'm alerady doing a full maintenance blitz.

BeltsHoses, thermostat

transmission filter & fluid (although I can't find M1 transmission fluid in Tucson)transmission cooler

crank case flush w/oil Seafoam, MMO, transmission fluid (Done) drained Mobil drive clean and cheap filter to remove any residual cleaners. REplace W/ good filter and M1 5-W30 when running again.

Plenum, throttle body and top engine carbon cleaning (done)rail flush (done)plugs (NGK from Scottsdale)

full brake job, caliper rebuild kits, flush W/ valvoline synthetic road test on loose material to open the ABS valving then ATE Superblue FLUSH, Speed bleeders, Slotted front rotors from AZHitman(Nice)

And now, Timing belt and Waterpump. DoHHH

Did I forget anything?

Please advise on the timing belt disagreement!!!

Part Number given by Everything Nissan-Infiniti = 1302845P86

Part number currently on vehicle = 1302845P00

Thanks, Matt

There is a Kevlar timing belt for the J manufactured my Nissan/Infiniti which is supposed to last 200 000 KILOMETERS, I don't what the conversion is to miles.
