I have this exact sound and if goes away when the pedal is depressed, just like you describe. I have 29K on my 2k2.

Let us know if you get it resolved.

I had the same problem on my last car which was a Nissan also, accept mine happend right after I did the clutch. One of my friends told me it was the throw out bearing and that the noise would go away. After a few months it just went away...it was pretty weird and let me tell you that the sound would **** me off..I first thought I had spun a bearing in the engine or something because the noise sounded like it was coming right from the bottom of my engine....but one day just I happend to push down the clutch while the car door was open and the noise went away..and your right about only having to push down on the pedal just a little bit for the noise to go away...my car was the same way. I would bring it to Nissan but not too sure what they are going to do about it. I guess they would have to replace the bearing.
