If it's a 2000, then you should have the VG33E. First thing to figure out if it is not starting due to a lack of fuel or lack of ignition. Assuming you've already checked to make sure the plugs/wires/cap & rotor are in good condition, using a timing light to check for spark when the "no start" occurs can be a handy tool (install the light and point it towards you as you attempt to start. If there's spark, you'll see the light flash). If you have spark during the incidents of no start, I would do a fuel pressure and leakdown test. I have seen fuel injectors leakdown and cause these engines to flood and cause difficult but intermittent no starts (not a common problem, but happens to some).
