I don't know what you mean by "splatter." Shuttering could be caused by an engine misfire...possibly worn or incorrect spark plugs or a bad ignition coil...or a driveline vibration...such as a bad driveshaft U-joint, which is fairly common on these vehicles.

If one of more of the driveshaft U-joints are bad, the joint(s) need to be replaced with new ones. The Nissan joints are made by Spicer, who make replacement joints with and without grease fittings (most prefer with). But, most aftermarket joints seem to work just as well. Moog is a popular choice in the USA.
