I will crank the car up, drive it for 20 min, turn it off and it wont crank back up until it cools off. What is the problem?

Next time it won't start you need to see what you are missing. Like fuel pressure, spark, fuel inj. Pulse. Is your Check Engine Light on or do you have any codes?

Yes, crankshaft sensors have a history of failing on Nissans. Normally they will either turn the Check Engine light on and leave a code. Do you have any codes? Also, just because your Check engine light is not on does not mean you have no codes. I would check for codes first.
