only running on 5 cyl

120 is a little low compression,i would make sure it is not a bad spark plug wire or spark plug.Try switching the wire to another cylinder and see if the miss transfers to the other cylinder,same with the spark plug ..
If they check out ok,then it may be the injector..

so your injector is plugged, pull them and get them cleaned. as long as they all ohm out good you should be ok with getting them cleaned. otherwise replace with new ones, because when one goes the others usually aren't far behind.

I support (and generally do) give my business to members of the forum (ie. InternetAutomar and Kaleb from Courtesy Nissan).
But... I am working on replacing 3 injectors for a car worth less than $500. I looked for as cheap as I could get. I had several sources strongly discourage me from using rebuilt Nissan injectors. Apparently they are not really rebuildable and frequently don't even last their warranty period.
Parts America has new Beck-Arnley injectors for your car for $57 plus $9 core and free shipping. I would plan on eating the core charge, because I was unable to get the injectors out of my 1990 without destroying the top of the injector with channel locks. Good luck.

if there is a core, then they aren't new. or PA screwed up <- more likely
there is a cheap new injector but it is absolute crap.
I'd recommend used over rebuilt any day of the week
let us know if they are new or rebuilt.
they may just be reboxed Venom injectors which means you'll have to do the job twice (or 3 times as was the case with one set i sold)

If you are on a budget, I would definitley recommend used over rebuilt. Even though the reman ones usually come with a lifetime warranty, whereas used would come with no warranty, reman ones have a very bad record of failing..And though u would get your next set free, i wouldnt wanna go through all the labor again....Get used or new OEM....
