On most 4 cylinder Nissans, the solenoid for the VVT is located at the front passenger side of the cylinder head.
No, only 2000 and up
VVT is located in the front of the engine cam shaft. You may need a qualified service personnell to change it.
P1388 is VVT(Variable Valve Timing) over retarded-bank 2. Possible causes are VVT solenoid electrical or mechanical faults or possible actuator stuck or oil supply problem.
It is an error code that says the variable valve timing is out of limits, may need a timing adjustment or a new vvt solenoid

It depends on the year of your RX. 2000 and older it is a VVT malfunction. VVT stands for variable valve timing. Check the filter screens on both your oil control valves, this is often the root of VVT issues. If it is 2001 and newer it is a Control Ignition or Misfire code. Hope that helps.
"What is the VVT Cam Gear Unit?"
It is a 3.6 Liter engine with variable valve timing (VVT).
Yes Toyota vehicles with a 3.3L V6 engine that has VVT-i have timing belts.
what is VVT-I
VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Toyota, similar in performance to the BMW's VANOS. The Toyota VVT-i system replaces the Toyota VVT offered starting in 24 December 1991 on the 5-valve per cylinder 4A-GE engine. The VVT system is a 2-stage hydraulically controlled cam phasing system. The Toyota motors CEO has been reported to have said, "VVT is the heart of every modern Toyota!"[citation needed]VVT-i, introduced in 1996, varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive (belt, scissor-gear or chain) and intake camshaft. Engine oil pressure is applied to an actuator to adjust the camshaft position. Adjustments in the overlap time between the exhaust valve closing and intake valve opening result in improved engine efficiency.[1] Variants of the system, including VVTL-i, Dual VVT-i, VVT-iE, and Valvematic, have followed.
