Message 9 years ago and that could be an issue as belts age with time. Humm not sure on that one, some think replace it. You could pull the top plastic covers off and inspect the belt for dryness but you have to rotate the engine for a full view of the entire belt. Nissan gave no time on the belt just miles.

I would go to a Nissan dealer and with your VIN ask for a printout of that service to see exactly what was done especially the tensioner that needs to be done with every timing belt service. It should still be in their records from 06. Next service will be the 120k at around 110k but you may want to hold on buying the parts now, up to you but best to buy fresh rubber parts.

Keep reading about the Z32 maintenance items.

How are your tires, tread and balance and brake pads and rotors?

What about your clutch, any chatter, slippage?

Check the 2 front strut rods and the 4 rear sub frame supports. They are all silicone filled and the rubber surround will sometimes break and the fluid oozes out. Hope you don't have that at the rear not an easy replacement, I have had it on the front strut rods and replaced both (have 92k on my NA) not a bad DIY but a bit tricky.

Any oil leaks?

Do a coolant service. radiator drain and use 50/50 mix of ethanol glycol and purge the air.
