I don't typically advocate for replacement of parts for the sake of it, but without any OBD2, it seems our hands are tied.
In your poking around, have you seen whether your car has an IPDM? Fancy talk for the main fusebox from the battery. Could you check its fuses and relays, make sure it didn't get wet etc? The randomness of the issues point to that, IMO.
If you'd like to chop at the issues one by one, hopefully it doesn't get too costly.
The fan
This tells me either the module is out or more likely, the ECM is seeing an overheat condition. Track your coolant sensors and change them - usually cheap, and mounted high enough in Nissans so you don't lose all your coolant trying to replace a sensor.
The fuel pumps are being told not to pump by some logic. Normally I'd say the crankshaft sensor is suspect as that typically shuts off the fuel pumps, but the fan situation tells me it's likely trying to prevent an overheat condition. Heck, just for testing purposes, disconnect the fan harnesses to see if the car starts.
Also, this will be handy as you troubleshoot you vehicle - the factory service manual. Basically a Haynes manual for Nissan, by Nissan. It is linked in my sig.
