Factory timing procedures and settings can be found in the EC section here:

http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Xterra/2000/

I haven't downloaded the 2000 manual, but I have downloaded the 2001 manual and the info is in there. For the 3.3, the 5 timing marks, reading clockwise, are 0,5,10,15,20. With a timing light you're looking for 10 degrees plus/minus 2 degrees.

I don't know if it's different for the 2000, but it is different for the 2.4l. Download the manual, then use your browser's "find" feature to search the document for the keyword "timing."

20 degrees plus/minus 2 degrees BTDC for the 2001 2.4l.

PS: the manual does say to disconnect the throttle position sensor harness connector.
