Good to hear! I've done a lot of VG timing belts. I usually go to Rockauto.com and get a Gates Timing Belt Component Kit w/ Water pump and Bando brand drive belts. Not a "must," but they also sell Pentosin Permafrost A2 green anti-freeze, which is exactly the same as genuine Nissan green anti-freeze. I get the thermostat, front cam seals and front crank seals, coolant bypass hose (and radiator hoses, if needed) from Nissan. While the rear belt cover is off to replace the bypass hose and cam seals, I'll check the welch for any coolant seepage around it; if there is, I remove it, clean the threads and coat with RTV sealant, and re-install to a torque of 50 ft/lbs. You need a 17MM hex socket to do this. Do all that and you should be in pretty good shape for a long time.
