The RFID code from the key is stored in the ECU, so you would have to get the keys reprogrammed.
Locksmiths will program the keys in their parking lot, so find a locksmith with the best price. The drive over there, take the connector off the original ECU. plug in the new ECU and have them re-program it. Make sure you have all you keys with you.

is there a way to flash ECU with the RIFD as original?
I'm assuming based on your answers it will indeed NOT start.
as someone with ZERO money and income this could pricey fast.

To avoid playing a locksmith or dealer you can purchase Nissan Data Scan II, for roughly $62.00, then purchase a VAG COM OBDII 409.1 USB adaptor for around $15, and use a compatible PC to reprogram the codes.
I would not recommend this unless you are keeping your working ECU as a backup and you are looking for a way to experiment for less than $100 and you already have a PC (usually a laptop) that is running Windows 7 or older.
Purchasing the an incorrect or malfunctioning VAG cable can keep the product from working properly.
Here's a video on how it works below.

Check out the following thread about the master code value.
https://maxima.org/forums/all-motor/...-nvis-tip.html
You will need to read about the ICU. The following page provides information about the ICU and the master code. The page is in spanish. Chrome will translate if you need it.

You will need to read the NDS2 manual at the following location to understand the reset process.
