May be worthwhile replacing your MAF sensor , or if you know of someone who has the same vehicle and do a switch this could be an option. There is a company called nizbits I think who sell these sensors and they are a fare bit cheaper than a nissan dealer . check in the vendor thread for nizbits , not sure how its spelt or if this will solve your issue , from memory $150 for sensor .
Recall reading on this forum where guys have had '' rough running '' issues and a new MAF has cured the problem . Now rough running and mis / misfire as you describe are different but similar so I may be leading you down the wrong path but this is not my intention . goodluck , will keep an eye out on your progress .
