Message	And this question bothered me to no end as well. Every Nissan tech i spoke to said it's ok to wait till i got to 60K. So i waited and performed the service myself. When i disassembled the front of the engine the Belt looked Very good, no cracks and looked like it could have gone on for another 60K. But keep in mind that My Z was bought from the original owner who kept it garaged and drove it pretty much on the weekend. Oh and this is in the North East climate.
