Message	What exactly was replaced at 59,357 ? If you have detailed records of that service then you can answer this. If it's just a sticker that says belt was done, then you really should do a full 120k Belt 2x idlers 1x tensioner thermostat water pump 5x cam/crank seal 2x vtc spring 2x vtc oring 2x bypass hose 3x accessory belts 2x radiator hoses optional 2x idler studs sprocket sprocket washers Having done coolant flushes before the belt was a waste of materials, and time Bernie Bilski berniebilski@cox.net President of Z-Car Club of Northern Virginia 1995 Nissan 300ZX TwinTurbo in Cobalt Green 1997 Nissan 240SX SE in Ultra Red 2006 Nissan Frontier SE in Ultra Black
