This depends on wich engine is in the vehicle. The 1.6 and 2.0 petrol are timing chains. the 2.0 and 2.3 diesels have belts. the timing marks are as follows:
2.0 diesel: cam and injection pump marks should be at 11 o'clock. crankshaft mark at 2 o'clock with keyway at 12 o'clock.
2.3 diesel: same as 2.0 diesel.
Hope this helps.
You dont they are meant to be in the car for the life of the engine. But you can buy a timing light and check the timing.
To set the timing on a 1997 Nissan pickup, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Next, locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing scale on the engine. Use a timing light to check the timing by connecting it to the number one cylinder spark plug wire and aiming it at the timing marks while the engine is running. Adjust the distributor as needed to align the timing mark with the specified timing value found in the vehicle's service manual.
Many Nissan models are equipped with timing chains instead of timing belts, notably those with the QR25DE engine, found in vehicles like the Nissan Sentra and Altima. The VQ-series engines, such as the VQ35DE and VQ37VHR, also utilize timing chains in models like the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G37. Timing chains are generally considered more durable and require less frequent replacement compared to timing belts. Always check specific model years and configurations, as engine options can vary.
It has a timing chain. The timing chain is on the front of the engine. But before messing with it ,I would have the timing check first. You may have something else wrong,like a sensor or a vaccum leak.

To check the timing of a Nissan 2.7 TD diesel pump, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Locate the timing marks on the pump and the engine; align them according to the manufacturer's specifications. Use a dial gauge or a timing light to confirm the timing settings are within the specified range. If adjustments are needed, loosen the pump mounting bolts and rotate the pump slightly until the correct timing is achieved, then retighten the bolts.
