Default Need help!

So I have searched the forums and google for and still cant find a solution but anyways for a while now when i drive for 30 mins or more or even drive my car hard, and shut my car off its not starting back up easily or even starting at all . Sometimes the car will start cranking and wont turn over, other times it does the same thing but then acts like the battery is dying and reset my headunit and everything else. Then if i let my car sit for a while the car will start up just fine. Just been a pain in the A$$ especially when i have to get gas or get a car wash my car doesnt start up. any help would be appreciated thank you!

I would say battery terminals have a bad connection, did you look at them?
but then at the same time you say that sometimes it actually turns over and doesn't start which completely throws the battery connection idea out the window hmmmm,
Any Codes? any recent modifications?

I did check the terminals and they look ok to me. headlights dont dim either which makes me feel its not the battery. I have put on a new intakes exhause and clutch/flywheel but this occured before all those mods. I havent checked the codes but only things on my dash is the tps light

Could be a bad cps, checking your codes would eliminate that. Sometimes they leak oil as well causing them to fail. Just pull the harness off and look into the sensor plug.

Cam Position sensors were my next suggestion, after you checked codes lol
Hope it works out for you, make sure if you find the CPS faulty get them at Nissan unless you want the same problem within a years time
