Message	over the years. There is no "rating" or marking on the belts or packaging that would indicate longer service life. The 95 service manual still called for 60k lifecycle for the timing belts for TwinTurbo models but listed 105K for Non Turbo models. That being said - since all the timing belt parts are the same ( tt vs. NA) it seems that Nissan recommeds service life be dictated more by wear/tear/heat then strict mileage. Also consider that while a belt may be good for 100k other parts such as the water pump, thermostat or bypass hoses may not last that long.
