OK, somebody help me out here because I'm having trouble finding the part where the owner's manual says 5 years or 105,000 mi. I'm a little surprised that the timing belt fails before the mileage interval. I figured the boys over there at Nissan would've built in some 'safety factor' when they came up with that number. So I've got the book open here in front of me and on page 9-6 it says to replace the spark plugs and the timing belt at 105,000 miles and this is repeated again on p. 9-8. I don't see anything about a time interval..?

oh ya, forgot to mention I'm going to print off the stuff you posted along with that that other write-up mentioned earlier and tape them up in the garage when I finally get around to gettin 'er done. lot's of great stuff - thanks guys!
