OR99.5Speed Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Go for it. I chickened out, but I there have been Pathfinder owners going more than 200k miles on the original. I forget who it is on this board, but his friend has a 99.5 LE that he hardly maintains with 230k highway miles or something crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh...I know I have a chain, but that seems a lil risky That's a lot of miles for a 7 y.o. truck...what's that, 34K miles annually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR99.5Speed Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I can't for the life of me remember who it was! It was an R50 owner... Anyways, he changed his friend's timing belt, which went smoothly, and then changed his and ran into a few hitches...I'm gonna try and find the thread, it's really pissing me off! Damn 3.5 owners have a chain! -thnkboutit- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuismO Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 on my '97 QX4 i bought it with 132k miles...drove it for another 8k before i decided to check in with an infiniti dealer to find out if there have been any t-belt changes in her history...there weren't, so i changed it along with the rest of the belts/seals. they say change it every 60k or so, but hell, if my QX4 can last 140,000 miles w/o a change, i'm sure you can last another 600 =) but don't get pissed off at me if it does snap within the next 600 =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkpath96 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I got mine changed at 100K. Somewhere here it was recommended that you also change the water pump while you're in there, but I didn't. Now at 126K and just wondering how long it will live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 i didn't do my pump or the other seals when i did mine on my previous truck and it was still going strong at 175k when the truck met unfortunate faith. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 i drive a 96 R50 with like 184,2xx miles on it, everything on the engine is stock besides like the routine oil changing and i think my belts have been changed 3-4 times in its life, on and 2 o2 sensors have been changed and thats it. on my 3rd tranny tho...

QuismO Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 yea, i asked the shop if they could change my water pump as well while they're in there, but he said that it's still good. at 140k, is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
