If you bought the idler pulley new from Nissan/ Infiniti, a new bolt should have been included.
Best advice would be to remove the bolt from the other idler pulley and take it to a auto parts store and see if they can match it up exactly.

I have been noticing whistle/howling wind noise coming from the pulleys area for the last 2 days. Didn't think too much of it, figured it's probably the belt tensioner or one of the pulley, I'll just take it in maybe during the weekend to have a look.
Coming home tonight I heard a loud squeak, lost power steering and battery light went on. The Brake warning light also came on (anybody know why?). Luckily I wasn't that far away from home. Drove the car back home without power steering. This is the first time I've ever driven a car without power steering, so it was quiet an experience.
Pop the hood after I got home, notice the belt is quite lose. The belt itself didn't look damaged. Shine a flashlight down and there is it, the idler pulley resting peacefully on undercarriage cover.
FYI it's the #7 pulley in the diagram below:
