I need the timing marks for a 1990 nissan maxima

wow a Nissan Camry.
what engine, ??????????
what are you doing, we dont know. so..
cam marks? chain marks?
spark timing?

in 1997, most cars have 6 or more marks.

Nissan V6? is it (guessing i am)

• 1995 cc VQ20DE V6
• 2988 cc VQ30DE V6
• 3.0 L VQ30DE-K V6 1999.5?
  
• 3.5 L VQ35DE V6

if doing major cam work , you will need far more that just mark data.

if doing serious work, i recommend the below

1. a real FSM, from NISSAN if Nissan.
2. alldata.com

warning:1
all nissan engines are All Interference
so doing cam work or finding engine dead,
do a leak down test by hand before cranking engine
or bend the valves.
after replacing chain, do a cyl. leak down test (a tool)
and if it fails, the valves were bent, do not crank engine
or the damage WILL cascade $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Here's a link to your timing.

Remove the three bolts retaining the upper chain guides and lift it from the cylinder head.

To allow access to the camshaft sprocket bolts, unbolt the upper timing chain cover and carefully pry the cover away from the cylinder head

Set the number one piston at TDC on the compression stroke by aligning the timing marks on the crankshaft damper.

Fig. 6: The number one cylinder is at TDC when the timing marks are aligned as shown (clikc image for zoom)

Check that the mating marks on the sprockets are aligned as shown in the illustration. If not, the crankshaft should be rotated another 360°.

Fig. 7: It may be helpful to paint marks on the chain and sprockets if the marks are not easily visible

Remove the camshaft position sensor. Mark the position of the sensor before removal to help keep the ignition timing correct.

Hope this helps.

The camshaft inner chains have gold links on them to line up with the mating marks on the camshaft inner sprockets.
The Main Drive Chain has two blue links that line up on the camshaft outer sprocket mating marks and a gold link that lines up with the mating mark on the crankshaft sprocket.

V6 engines (VG30) renowned for breaking exhaust manifold studs. As to the pulley marks, looking at the engine from the pulley side, as the pulley rotates clockwise, the first mark up is TDC, the second is the timing mark for when the engine is running and you are using a strobe light.

there should be a small mark on the block and indentation

If your belt came with marks, then they should match the marks that are on the sprockets and block, if not, you must have the cam marks align with those on the engine. If you're in doubt about the exact spot, lay a tooth pick across the sprockets so that you can check alignment to the block.

The marks are for an initial reference only. Once the belt is correctly in place and proper tension set, the cam is in time with the crankshaft and will stay that way until the belt breaks or slips from one cog to the next (won't happen if the tension is correct).

After the belt is initially set with the marks lined up, two rotations of the crankshaft (one rotation of the camshaft) will have the marks in a different place. The only exception would be if the belt had an exact multiple of ribs/teeth compared to the crankshaft, and that is not very likely.

A 1990 Nissan Pulsar has a timing chain, not a belt. Here is the picture.
