It uses a timing belt. It should have been changed at or about 60k miles together with the water pump. Assuming that was done, it looks like your car is due for another change soon.

That is because the Altima was redesigned in 2002 and it is using a newer platform. The 2004 Maxima will also be redesigned and based on that same platform which will make it the same size or maybe a little larger. The Maxima is still the better car.

So you are telling me that an I35 (a ~$30,000 car) comes with a temporary spare standard, and you have to buy a full-size tire? That is a joke!

and I contemplated getting a full size spare when I bought my 1995 Maxima. Fortunately 8 years and 130k miles and no flats.
 
On the other hand, with many of the $30k - $50k+ RWD sport sedans (and all sports cars), the tires are uni-directional, asymetrical with different front and rear sizes. In order to be fully covered, you would need to carry around 4 full size spares. That would put a crimp in getting your golf clubs in the trunk.

yesssir ..... the full size spare is a $180 option on the I35. It eats up just under 2 cu. ft. of trunk space which was why I elected not to go with it. Poor design on the part of Nissan, hopefully this will be fixed in the '04.

You are kidding, right? What's wrong with having a temporaty spare? At least it is not optional as with the $87,000 Maserati Spyder, where you get a "fix-a-flat" kit as standard:
