I guess the ecu could be bad, not sending any juice to the injectors. Maybe it's time for the dealer to have a look at it.....
I'd avoid 99% of dealers at all costs. They pretty much , with few exceptions , exist only to drain your wallet. Dealerships profits aren't made on the sales floor , it's made in the service bay. I'd take it to an independent shop if at all possible , preferably someone who specializes in Nissans. And there is still nothing stopping you from finding an ECU somewhere and installing it yourself. I would check the classifieds here and at Z31.com , someone always has an ECU or is parting out a car. Before you do that , go through all the ECU connections , make sure they are all secure. Check all fuses and relays , also. It's rare for an ECU to go bad , and Z31 ECUs don't seem to have a history of it being common. Most times ECU failure is caused by an external source , such as a bad alternator voltage spike or bad grounding.
