Message	But obviously if you've had it checked... no big... but just think what the cost of a new engine will be if that timing belt setup does develop an issue... Also, just to be clear, the 60k maintenance is not just the "belt". I'd be more worried about the idler pullies and the tensioner than I would about the belt itself... =/ But its your Z, and your money. But don't come crying if the belt does break and you didn't adhere to the suggested maintenance... you won't get any sympathy here. Kaz (Dallas) '07 G35S & '08 G37S
