Yep, it's the injector pump wearing, you'll need to get an advance plate from Nissan that'll cost you around $60 including a new o ring.
That'll be a carton of Tasman for the diagnosis.

Rip the car in to Motsons @ moorooka. they will supply and fit the mod plate for around the $60 mark. I had mine done and then managed to pick up a pump with 66,000km on it so the modded one has become a back up.

thanks for the offer
at the moment ("while it still run's") im trying to find & fix the problem and if i don't i should have a better understanding of every little bit of the 2.8 by the sounds of it im going to have a few "issues".. you might hear from me shortly if i crack the ships... fingers crossed ....
my mate had a 4.2 he used for winch challanges and warned me not to go near the 2.8 so now i have to get it cranking or cop it ..
