For starters, check all the obvious maintenance items. Plugs, wires, rotor, cap, ignition timing, fuel filter and any egr crap.Also remove the valve cover, and verify the mechanical timing is correct.Make sure the brakes are not binding. Start off with those things. Hopefully it is just something obvious and cheap.

Don't patronize us with all your fancy vtec hoopla. Us nissan folk have variable timing.
