By definition nationalism is an extreme form of patriotic feelings, principles, or efforts, especially marked by a feeling of superiority over other countries. Self determination is the principle in international law that nations have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with out external compulsion or interference.

I would not say that these two are "the same thing," but I also wouldn't say they are opposites. A Nationalist can also fit the definition of self determination. The same way one defined by self determination could also be a Nationalist. Just because you feel superior to someone does not deem you unable to believe they have the right to freely choose their government, etc.
