Timing belt - Change related parts too?

I'm looking for opinions.

My '93 has 53K original miles (completely documented). I'm going to do the timing belt at 60K as per the factory service schedule.

The FSM talks about just replacing the belt. I know most replace the water pump, seals, springs, etc at the same time, but, is it REALLY Necessary? I know the thought is that while you have it apart, better to do it than have to do it again, but...

I have done timing belts on my '87 Maxima and '93 Quest (same motor - VG30) as well as my '85 Z31. I just changed the belt at 60K and did the belt with all the other stuff at 120K. I'm thinking about the same thing for my Z32.

It's also interesting to note that the '93 Quest has a 60K timing belt change interval and the '95 Quest has a 105K interval but both use the same timing belt part number.

Thoughts?
