This is probably one of the better ones http://www.coomadiesel.com.au/4980/Water_Watch/

You just have to make sure its not to restrictive so it doesn;t put too much strain on your pump. I've heard of pumps failing as they have to work a lot harder to pump the fuel through ones that are too restrictive.

EDIT: I just remembered its the seperator/filter that cause the pumps to strain. the link above is just a water trap only and its fine.
You probably dont really need another filter

original nissan filters are 3 to 5 microns

I would put a CAV setup inline before the OEM filter. They use a cheap, but very effective filter (#7111-296) and have a glass bowl on them. I think you even get one with alarms in them. But a waste IMO, if you have the bowl you can see whats going on. The only draw back is if you bust the bowl your screwed if you dont have a spare.
