TIMING CHAIN
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
8. Install internal chain guide, slack guide and timing chain ten-
sioner (primary).
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten slack guide mounting bolts. It is normal
for a gap to exist under the bolt seats when mounting bolts
are tightened to the specification.
9. Install the timing chain tensioner (primary) with the following procedure:
a. Pull plunger stopper tab up (or turn lever downward) so as to
remove plunger stopper tab from the ratchet of plunger.
NOTE:
Plunger stopper tab and lever are synchronized.
b. Push plunger into the inside of tensioner body.
c. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging
plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.
d. To secure lever, insert stopper pin through hole of lever into ten-
sioner body hole.
The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.
NOTE:
Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.

VALVE SEAT CONTACT
After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves
are within the specifications, perform this procedure.
Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surface of
valve seat to check the condition of the valve contact on the sur-
face.
Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the cir-
cumference.
If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contact-
ing surface still has “NG” conditions even after the re-check,
replace valve seat. Refer to EM-242, "
VALVE SEAT REPLACE-
MENT" .
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess
in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-281, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
Prevent to scratch cylinder head by excessive boring.
2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.
Be sure to ream in circles concentric to valve guide center.
This will enable valve to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130
C (230 to 266F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into cylinder head.
WA R N I N G :
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
CAUTION:
Avoid directly touching cold valve seats.

Seat Belt InspectionNHS0008L
AFTER A COLLISION
WAR NING :
Inspect all seat belt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware after any collision.
NISSAN / INFINITI recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced
unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Fail-
ure to do so could result in serious personal injury in an accident. Seat belt assemblies not in use dur-
ing a collision should also be replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted. Seat belt pre-
tensioned should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during a frontal collision in which
the air bags are deployed.
Replace any seat belt assembly (including anchor bolts) if:
The seat belt was in use at the time of a collision (except for minor collisions and the belts, retractors and
buckles show no damage and continue to operate properly).
The seat belt was damaged in an accident. (i.e. torn webbing, bent retractor or guide, etc.)
The seat belt attaching point was damaged in an accident. Inspect the seat belt attaching area for damage
or distortion and repair as necessary before installing a new seat belt assembly.
Anchor bolts are deformed or worn out.
The seat belt pre-tensioner should be replaced even if the seat belts are not in use during the collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Check the seat belt warning lamp/chime for proper operation as follows:
a. Switch ignition ON. The seat belt warning lamp should illuminate. Also, the seat belt warning chime should
sound for about six seconds.
b. Fasten driver's seat belt. The seat belt warning lamp should go out and the chime (if sounding) should
stop.
2. If the air bag warning lamp is blinking, conduct self-diagnosis using CONSULT-II, and air bag warning
lamp. Refer to SRS-19, "
SRS Operation Check" .
3. Check that the seat belt retractor, seat belt anchor and buckle bolts are securely attached.
4. Check the shoulder seat belt guide and shoulder belt height adjuster for front seats. Ensure guide swivels
freely and that webbing lays flat and does not bind in guide. Ensure height adjuster operates properly and
holds securely.
5. Check retractor operation:
a. Fully extend the seat belt webbing and check for twists, tears or other damage.
b. Allow the seat belt to retract. Ensure that webbing returns smoothly and completely into the retractor. If
the seat belt does not return smoothly, wipe the inside of the loops with a clean paper cloth. Because dirt
built up in the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
c. Fasten the seat belt. Check the seat belt returns smoothly and completely to the retractor. If the webbing
does not return smoothly, the cause may be an accumulation of dust or dirt. Use the “SEAT BELT TAPE
SET” and perform the following steps.
Inspect the front seat belt though-anchor
1. Pull the seat belt out to a length of 500 mm (19.69 in) or more.
2. Use a clip or other device to the fix the seat belt at the center pillar webbing opening.
3. Pass a thin wire though the though-anchor webbing opening. Hold both ends of the wire and pull it
tantly while moving it up and down several times along the webbing opening surface to move matter
stuck there.
4. Any dirt that can not be removed with the wire can be removed by cleaning the opening with a clean
cloth.
5. Apply tape at the point where the webbing contacts the though-anchor webbing opening. Tightening torque : 49.0 Nꞏm (5.0 kg-m, 36 ft-lb)

Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
NOTE:
Apply the tape so that there is no looseness or wrinkling.
6. Remove the clip fixing the seat belt and check that the webbing returns smoothly.
6. Repeat steps above as necessary to check the other seat belts.
SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON-VEHICLE CHECK
Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
NOTE:
All seat belt retractors are of the Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) type. In an emergency (sudden stop)
the retractor will lock and prevent the webbing from extending any further. All 3-point type seat belt retractors
except the driver's seat belt also have an Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode. The ALR mode (also
called child restraint mode) is used when installing child seats. The ALR mode is activated when the seat belt
is fully extended. When the webbing is then retracted partially, the ALR mode automatically locks the seat belt
in a specific position so the webbing cannot be extended any further. To cancel the ALR mode, allow the seat
belt to fully wind back into the retractor.
Check the seat belt retractors using the following test(s) to determine if a retractor assembly is operating prop-
erly.
ELR Function Stationary Check
Grasp the shoulder webbing and pull forward quickly. The retractor should lock and prevent the belt from
extending further.
ALR Function Stationary Check
1. Pull out entire length of seat belt from retractor until a click is heard.
2. Retract the webbing partially. A clicking noise should be heard as the webbing retracts indicating that the
retractor is in the Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) mode.
3. Grasp the seat belt and try to pull out the retractor. The webbing must lock and not extend any further. If
NG, replace the retractor assembly.
4. Allow the entire length of the webbing to retract to cancel the automatic locking mode.
ELR Function Moving Check
WAR NING :
Perform the following test in a safe, open area clear of other vehicles and obstructions (for example, a
large, empty parking lot). Road surface must be paved and dry. DO NOT perform the following test on
wet or gravel roads or on public streets and highways. This could result in an accident and serious
personal injury. The driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the
retractor does not lock.
1. Fasten driver's seat belt. Buckle a passenger into the seat for the belt that is to be tested.
2. Proceed to the designated safe area.
3. Drive the vehicle at approximately 16 km/h (10 MPH). Notify any passengers of a pending sudden stop
and the driver and passenger must be prepared to brace themselves in the event the retractor does not
lock, apply brakes firmly and make a very hard stop.
During stop, seat belts should lock and not be extended. If the seat belt retractor assembly does not lock, per-
form the retractor off-vehicle check.
