So engine runs, (spinning means run?)
you posted lacking year car nor country sold.
why do that, nobody can help you lacking such key facts.
on modern cars for sure here in USA there IS NO TIMING ADJUSTMENTS< they are fixed, now, by law, (EPA laws , a fact)[

in fact this is done simply with a very precision CPK crank sensor today. oK?

so years matter, big time, see?
wiki tells me (wow) year is 2000-2013 (wow)
13 long years and changes, so I will jump on the lame idea it is 2000 and the dumber year. ,

i looked to buy parts for this car here, and non seen. non sold.
lets see I will now wiki xtrail to see where it was sold, wow hard.
quote WIKI,
was never offered by dealerships in the United States
why in the word post to USA FIXYA, on non USA cars
Cars,? or not telling country first not wasting others precious time. on goose chase.
answer is buy the shop manual in your country and read.

googling world wide i see your crank sensor on center side of block, and the hole to mount it is round not slotted.
2004 (example) so is NOT ADJUSTABLE AT ALL.
example is Australia 8,000 miles from here.
as most are not.(varies by year in USA)

so double goose chase over, no year, no country and it is not adjustable at all.
sigh

94 Nissan pickup D21 4 cylinder timing problems

If the timing is off on your Nissan pickup D21, here are some steps you can take to fix it:

Before adjusting the timing, make sure that the engine is at top dead center (TDC). This means that the number 1 piston is at the top of its compression stroke. You can verify this by using a piston stop tool or by removing the spark plug for the number 1 cylinder and inserting a long screwdriver or similar tool to feel for the piston.
Once you have verified that the engine is at TDC, you can align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. The timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket should be aligned with the mark on the engine block, and the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket should be aligned with the mark on the cylinder head.
Next, reinstall the oil pump shaft and distributor so that they are correctly timed with the engine. The oil pump shaft should be aligned with the mark on the crankshaft, and the distributor rotor should be pointing towards the number 1 cylinder on the distributor cap.
Finally, reassemble the timing chain cover and any other components you removed during the timing adjustment.
After reassembly, start the engine and use a timing light to verify that the timing is correct. If necessary, make small adjustments to the distributor position until the timing is correct.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform these steps, it may be best to take your truck to a professional mechanic to ensure that the timing is set correctly.

Does the 2005 Nissan Xtrail 2.2 diesel have TDC timing mark on the crank pulley

All crankshaft pulleys have a timing mark. However, the actual marks can be different between manufacturers. Some have a notch cut on the rim of the pulley others have an arrow or a Dot stamped or moulded on the face of the pulley.
If your replacing a belt, line up the Cam marks and carefully examine the Crank pulley. You should be able to find the marks for the pulley and it's matching mark on the engine block. Some timing chains use marks on the pulley and marked links on the actual chain. I think yours might be a plain round dot or dimple on the raised face nearest the chain teeth.
*Note* The matching crank marks might not be at TDC on the actual pulley.
Some pulleys are stamped with extra marks to help set the advance and retard on the engine. Give the face of the pulley a good clean with a wire brush as sometimes dirt and surface rust can hide the mark.

1994 Volvo 940 Station Wagon timing belt

I hope you've solved the problem by now, but there are alignment marks on the crank shaft (top pulley), idler (lower side), and cam shaft (smaller, bottom pulley) which should be aligned with stationary marks on the timing belt rear cover.

The belt has marks that align with the aforementioned marks (lines). The double marks on the belt align with the camshaft marks and the single marks with the others.

Loosen the tensioner clamp (nut) to allow the spring loaded tensioner to press on the belt and retighten the nut.

Rotate the crank shaft (clockwise, probably two revolutions) and make sure the pulley marks realign to the marks on the cover (they don't have to realign with the marks on the belt).

Rotate the crank shaft a full revolution once the belt is on and check that alignment is preserved.

Periodically loosen and retension the tensioner nut (access through a hole in the cover) to ensure that tension is maintained as the belt relaxes.
