You should have a timing chain not a belt on that 3.0 liter motor. They last 300k
or more and rarely ever have to be changed

The 3.0 litre V6 engine in a 1999 Infiniti I30 has a timing CHAIN

The 1998 Infiniti I30 & Nissan Maxima doesn't have a timing belt. It uses a timing chain.
The 1997 Infiniti I30 is equipped with a timing belt. It is important to replace the timing belt at the recommended intervals to prevent engine damage, as a failure can lead to significant issues. Regular maintenance checks are advisable to ensure the timing belt remains in good condition.
A wholesale car dealer guy told me that it has a chain. But I'm still trying to verify....
The 98 I30 uses the VQ30 engine which uses a timing chain and not a belt. No scheduled replacement necessary unless there is a problem (rare).
i30 was last made in 2001. never need to service any infiniti timing chain, only if it has a belt
How do you change the spark plugs (or tune up) in a 2001 Infinity I30
how to change the thermostat on a 99 infinity I30
The 1999 Infiniti I30 is equipped with a non-interference engine. This means that in the event of a timing belt failure, the pistons and valves will not collide, preventing potential engine damage. Therefore, if the timing belt breaks, the engine can be repaired without the risk of severe internal damage.
