I've had this same problem come up on a '91 240sx and a '96 I30. Take off
the air intake tube (which is way more involved than it need to be) and
clean the air intake on the throttle body. It gets sticky around the
butterfly and that is what is making the pedal hard to move the first time
you push it every day.

You might also want to take a look at the FAQ on http://www.240sx.org/ It
covers in one way or another pretty much everything you will encounter.
