Message	I'm curious. Why is the receommended timing belt change on the turbo at 60,000 miles and the N/A at 105,000? I ask because I took my 96TT in for 120 K service and timing belt change, and the guy is swearing up and down I don't need one, that the timing belt on a twin turbo will last just as long as on an N/A "but Nissan won't tell you that, just wants your money, blah, blah, blah" and "the turbos don't have anything to do with the timing belt." I want to believe him, but I'm very dubious about thsi guy. I can't afford the dealership or the "real" Z expert in my area, and this is just someone I heard about through word of mouth. I didn't leave my car with him -- got a bad feeling. What say you experts? Vicki
