Gq electrical install.

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

I've been quite last few days this is why. I still have a mountain of work ahead to conduct separate everything.

While its apart like that mate go and buy a 4lt tin of brush on Sound deadener and give the floor 3 or 4 coats and also the inside of the door skins. You will thank yourself.

[MudRunnerTD]

Also think about buying a heap of different coloured heat shrink and colour code both ends of everything so you don't have to rely on labels that might not be readable in 5 years. A band of heat shrink 40mm long on both ends of each wire or a few wraps of electrical tape on each end will be a winner mate.

Just trying to help ;)

Good on ya mate. Enjoy.

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

Cheers mate, I've allowed cable for everything. I know it looks like a mess atm .

Central locking,
Amps
Sub
6x9's
fridges
12volt sockets
worklights 4 allowed for rear.
4 switches back to cabin.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2013/07/38.jpg
I would hate to think how much money I've spent on cable not to mention switches/relays/fuses boxes so on so forth.

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

Probably up to about 40-50 hours, coming together tho. Rear seats wont be going back in, full length draws with a cargo barrier. Seal and sound proof the floor .

Great job like the sound deadener, my last 4x4 had internal roll cage so I mounted the amp and 2 6x9 4ways in the roof

Once I run my draws full length the amp will sit in cavity with lift out lid. Thats why i have angled the fuse box the way I have. 6x9's will go behind the front seats in draw system. I'm itching to get started on draws and cargo barrier. Steel skeleton, sheet metal draws and mdf/carpet top. From what i have planned should take bout 4 weeks to make weekends/after hours.

[mortn]

Just about to start the same project myself.
Big differense with the paint noise killer?

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

I was not really chasing the sound deadening affect, more the sealing the floor was the point of the exercise. Once my draw sets go thru I don't want to have to be worrying about the floor after everything is in.

[MC97GQ]

Silent dreams,

Mate I was wondering what body deadener did you use and how many coats and what was the drying time.

I want to do this to my GQ cab chassis but I can only be off the road for a small amount of time as it's my daily driver.

Thanks in advance

Mark

Its called motorspray. I used 6.5 liters 2 thick coats. Drying time was 5 days with 25-16 degrees ambient temps. With average of 6 hours sun each day.

If you want it to dry faster thin it out with turps and apply more but thin coats.

Well first stage is complete now I can start building a 4wd now that the ground work is in. Its taken me a few months to run all the cable properly but I have one hell of a base electrical system , next stage solar/third battery/inverter.

Holy chit!!! What an awesome job. Wish my Patrol wasn't my daily driver because I would be doing the exactly the same. When I bought the car I spent days cleaning out the birds nest of wires. Now. Theres about ten birds nests....I need to remove everything I have put in and start again, and together.
Well done.

[BigRAWesty]

Have you tried the compressor yet? I'm wondering how loud it'll be??

[mudski]

I have the same compressor. They are a bit noisy but heat is a bigger issue. Even sitting on the ground they generate a lot of heat. If I were to mount that in a box I would be installing a couple of 120mm fans to keep the temps down. As I noticed mine has a thermal cut out. So when it gets hot, it stops.

Mate I don't have an issue with heat, I pulled the compressor apart and rewired it. 1.2m of stainless braided line absorbs the heat plus the fittings. Its not overly loud but a have a rubber base and 4x 10x1.25 bolts plus nylocks . I ran it non stop over the weekend and pump up three 4x4's with tyres deflayted from the dunes.

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

Noise, lol nothing that the 2 12inch subs dont mask :D

Amazing job
I'm curios if you have a schematic noted on paper for everything what you did there.
