ROUND or SQUARE Tooth Timning Belt?

[Cobrared1993]

I have a 1993 Nissan Maxima with a VG30E single over head camshaft engine and I'm about to change my timing belt but I don't know how to find out if my timing belt is a ROUND tooth or a SQUARE tooth. How do you find that out?

I would contact a dealer to verify. Supposedly, the change from square to round teeth was made in the middle of 1993 (as far as production dates, not model years). So depending on your production date, you could have either. My '93 was built in late '92, so it's a square belt. A dealer should be able to confirm either way by checking your VIN.
