Welcome to Nico. We need more info to get started. Have you tried warming it up well before going? Have you done an ECU test? Was it running good, then something changed? Maybe a new part?

No CEL doesn't mean no codes... try this: http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/nissan ... ostic.html

Also, do you have the new style or old style PTU? If it is new style, is it using the pigtail?

Also, I would look at pulling the injector connectors and coil pack connectors and cleaning them well with an electrical contact cleaner and putting some electrical contact grease into them. Try those 2 and answer the above question and we can go down the line until we figure it out

Also, make sure the TPS doesn't have any dead spots in it. I had a similiar issue when I was auto, ended up being the TPS had a broken wire and out of spec. The TPS is the vital link for the auto to shift properly, which means when you floor it to get up to speed, it could stay in 3rd or 4th gear too long causing the bog you are experiencing.
