It would be worth having a mechanic check it for you. It could simply need a tune up, new plugs, plug leads, clean of the throttle body, or idle adjustment.
Try adding some fuel system cleaner to the fuel the next two or three times you refuel. If that doesn't help, have the throttle body cleaned.
It's most unusual for an engine to break a connecting rod under normal driving conditions if the engine has been serviced regularly and the oil changed. After so many years it's unlikely to be a manufacturing fault, so I doubt that you would have any chance of getting Nissan to even listen to your case. I would suggest you take up one of the offers you have in front of you.
THE Pulsar is generally a solid, reliable small car, but I have had one or two reports of head-gasket trouble. Because there were only one or two reports, you couldn't say it was a widespread issue.
THE Avalon is successfully running on LPG in taxis, and Toyota offers a dual-fuel system as a dealer-fit option. The system is an Apollo Gas Products development, so contact Apollo for its recommended installer. The Pulsar is a little different. It can be converted, but finding a kit is a problem. We checked with Victorian Autogas Supplies, which is working on systems for cars such as the Pulsar. It can't say when it may have one.
