Well, if this were a Honda, I'd recommend cleaning the throttle body.
This is a known problem with Hondas, and certainly this is worth a try
on your Nissan.

Get some throttle body cleaner (specifically!) and a rag. Take the
intake hose off your throttle body, get the rag damp with cleaner, and
get in there and start cleaning. You may even spray some in there to
get it a bit wet.

When this is done, your car will run rough as it runs the cleaner
residue through the engine.
