Just all depends on how bad the clutch is. Sounds like your engine is healthy but not transferring the power to the ground which the weakest link in that path is the clutch. When I had a slipping clutch, it would drive fine in third gear all the way up to around 4K rpm and then the rpms would shoot up with out me feeling any acceleration. But some say putting a car in 5th gear while stopped and letting the clutch out and seeing if your rpms dip or the engine stalls is a good way to see if your clutch is good. If you let your clutch out in fifth gear while stopped and rpms only drop a bit or the engine still manages to stumble but stay on, you may have clutch problems.
Another useful item I like to have nearr by is the eBay Nissan data scan tool that plugs in and let you read out every sensor of your car to your computer.
