Alright, you've got the Altima w/the maxima motor- I have a maxima myself, but i'm unsure of when manuf. recomm. this changed- there are a few nissan master tech's on here that can probably tell you the exact mileage marker, John Paul if you're out there holla...
2002 Nissan Altima 3.5L (stick shift) with 87,000 miles. When should I change timing belt/chain?
If it is a belt it wouldn't at all to change it every 50,000 miles the belts wear out much faster than the chains. I have had belt break and ruin a head before, and that runs into more money than changing the timing belt.

go to www.automobilerepaireasy.com they will send you a maintenance scedule and help you replace the timing chain or belt. they offer a great service i use them all the time
I believe it has a timing chain. Check your owners manual to be sure.
Chains should be good for 150k.
