Answer
Melody,

The library is a great source since they have the books and copy machines.  Just get the Chilton for your year and flip to the timing section and copy the page.  It is free.  The other option is to go to nissanusa.com and go to the .pdf section and pay the $20 bucks to download the files for your car.  If your timing has not jumped or the belt was not broke you can rotate the engine to top dead center and remove the old belt and replace it with a new one from  Nissan.  I love Nissan timing belts because they fit and they are correctly marked.  Aftermarket belts are a pain in the rear.  Of course you would have to remove all the accessories and the cover to get to the timing belt but that is a give.
