How to change belts - 1986 Nissan 300ZX

My information is it has a belt driven camshaft, it is after all a development of the old escort diesel though the replacement intervals are somewhat extended with 100,000 miles or 120 months, whichever occurs first, being the recommended interval though the Haynes manuals persist in suggesting timing belts are changed at 40,000 miles.

I certainly suggest doing a visual check whenever routine maintenance makes it convenient to do so and then change the belt should it appear dusty, frayed or oily. If there are no recorded belt changes I always change a belt when the information printed on the belt is no longer visible or is so faded it can hardly be read.

The first belt change can perhaps be left to the recommended interval with a minimum but rapidly increasing risk I feel subsequent belt change intervals should be increasingly reduced.

Drive belts are replaced every 5 years

Your thinking of timing belts 80,000 miles

to be on the safe side id change the belt every 55,000 to 65;000 miles make sure u change the belt tensioner as well they fail more than the belt

Theres no mileage to change just to check it, the way to check the belt is to look at the inside of the belt and you will see grooves in which the belt rides, if you see cracks in the belt then its time tom replace. the belt should be looked at every oil change it thats no time to check. hope this is helpful.

Hi:
It is overdue time to change your timing belt and waterpump, as you are on borrowed time on the timing belt. The waterpump and tensioner should be changed along with the timing belt, as they can ruin a new timing belt if they fail. Your serpentine belt should be inspected and replaced if needed too.

Most cam belts need to be changed every 60,000 miles. I would change again somewhere around 126,000.

Honda reccomends timing belt change at 100k. Most Honda dealers like you to change the belt at 90,000 miles (90k). some auto repair places will want to change the belt at 60k but that is not necessary (Note: if in a severe cold or hot climate like florida or canada you would change the belt before 90k or if the belt is over 7 years old.. Good luck:

drive belts could be loose.

Timing belts are suppose to be changed every 60,000 miles.
