i've had this problem, twice. One time is was a computer chip that was the cause, and the second time it was a steering column lock that needed to be replaced. I called my dealer, and out right told them, the next time i'm able to start the car i'm bringing it in, cant make an appointment if it wont start as needed. and they were instantly able to replicate the problem, and took about a day to get the parts in to fix.

Yeah, sounds like the steering lock issue in this case. If the computer can't activate the steering lock solenoid to retract it then it won't let you start the car. It seems to be a somewhat common problem across the entire Nissan line.
