I have a friend who works for Nissan. He said start by checking the distributor. Check for any signs of oil on there. There is a ring in there that tells the ecm/injectors when to shoot fuel. He is about 99% sure that is your problem. There is a seal in the distributor that is not sold seperately and you must buy the whole distributor. Pm me if you have any other questions with it.

oh also these cars have a problem with the dist getting oil in them and blocking the optical sensors, this can easily create your problem,

Didn't Nissan just have a recall on the crank position sensors? Seems like the symtoms were exactly what you are describing. It's worth checking on.
