Thanks for the input. I should add a few more details:
The motor is out of the car and on a stand. The intake manifold and exhaust manifold/turbo are removed from the motor, as well as the trans/clutch/flywheel (obviously). So it is pretty much ready to have this work done at this point. The bay/car are going to be painted during this process and all of the wiring is going to be sorted out/cleaned up, so I have plenty of time for the install.
I guess I will have to learn more about completely disassembling the head/ valve train. I want to keep things as simple as I can without cheaping out. Obviously I want to replace everything that should be with the right parts, I am just concerned about not having experience with the inside of a motor. I would hate to spend all of this money and time only to have it blow up because of a stupid mistake made on my part. I am, however, very open to learning.
The timing belt components will all be OEM from NissanParts.cc, so no worries on that end. I will do the tensioner and the guides along with the chain.
