Try checking the starter wire. I had the same problem on my 1994 Pathfinder and after removing the starter wire and cleaning the ends off it seemed to work fine.

Have you check the clutch switch at the pedal or the starter relay

Check the clutch safety switch at the pedal and the starter relay. Also inspect and clean the starter wire connections.
