Try doing a search for a cold start issue - My 1994 model had the same problem and my father (at the time the owner) had to fit a cold start mod supplied by nissan. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

It's also a possibility that the distributor has given up.
You say you think it's a fueling problem, get the plugs out after cranking it to see if they're wet with petrol, if not then suspect the fuel pump.

Very unlikley to be a fuel pump, I dont think anyone here has ever had a fuel pump failure. Check fuel filter, check for dampness in the distributor. Get a can of easy start spary it down in to the carb when trying to start. If it fires over then you can assume ignition is ok fuel is not. If it does nothing then its the ignition.

Guess again, mine went after displaying the same symptoms as mick52 is having.
