Is the car driving? Easiest way is to unplug the VCT solenoid, which is this little guy on the front of your intake manifold with the redish-brown coloured plug:

Then take it for a drive and see if it feels any different. Another way, which will work if the car isn't driving, is to download a program called Nissan Data Scan and buy a CONSULT cable, then you can switch off the VCT that way.

Couldnt you just listen to it? When the cars at normal operating temperature, open the bonnet and rev the car up slowly. When it reaches 1500rpm (or whenever it activates) there will be an audible click. Or put your hand on the solenoid while you do it and you will feel it for sure.

It doesn't activate in neutral.
