(maybe try changing the fuel filter?)

but i would take it to nissan. they can plug it in and watch voltages as your car starts stumbling to see whats not functioning correctly. one of othe very few times i would recommend going to nissan about it
agreed on cam sensor, it would shoot a code. although it seem to be culprit of may others with similiar symptoms. maf should shoot code as well.

fuel pump/filter - when it was going down, that was the first thing that came to my mind.

sadly i agree, this may be one for nissan.
they haz ultimate scan tool. problem is its not doing all the time.
And I can't get across how hard that will be for me to take it there.

I had a fuel pump go out on me which had similar symptoms.

Another sneaky one is the alternator, sometimes it will cut in and out for a while before it fully fails.
ya like if can give it gas at perfect ratio wont die, give it too much feels like im runnning out of gas.

thought battery/alterantor, but i can sit and crank and crank 100 times (strong too) and it wont start.

now im reading about fried ecu's (hints no code)
or something faulty with the security chip in the key/ignition

really waiting to see what happens tomorrow morning.
