I always use a voltage drop calculator for all wiring. Wire/ cable that is rated for 15 Amps won't catch on fire at 15 Amp, however at 15 Amps it will have a considerable voltage drop.
For example...

Most modern CRD injectors are piezo type i.e. they work more like a capacitor rather than a inductor (coil) They operate off a high voltage, usually around 300V. The ones in the ZD30 CRD are of...

When I covered up the service holes I stuck some of the old plastic liner so nothing would stick to the dyna mat.

The hot water service draws 3A max and 2.6A while running. So around 20W of power.

One of the larger boxes of dyna mat should cover the front doors inside and out. The problem is that the Patrol front doors are longer than most cars, so you have to use alot more dyna mat to cover...

Here's a list of all the gear I used:

I love my music and the patrol's factory stereo system wasn't doing it any justice. So I decided to upgrade it, which ended up replacing everything!!!

The Coleman hot water service is an awesome piece of camping equipment, it allows you to have a shower anywhere when you are out camping.

However the only issue (that I have found) with the unit...

One thing you need to consider is the loads that will be running off your second battery. If you are running device which pull more than 25A (the 1225 maximum output current) your battery will never...

In the older GUs the diff lock is controller via a module. Where does the alarm sound from? The cluster? If so Nissan have may have moved the diff lock module functionality into the cluster which...

This is the soldering iron and tools I used to remove the white base and load the surface mount parts

Summers coming I'd like to share a cool product. It's a custom sunshade:

A while back I was playing with my GU drivers side window switch module trying to make it work without the key and I found that Nissan (or Niles, Nissan's supplier) had design it so you could have...

Power in is the white with black trace and black, power to the motor is the blue and green. Connecting these together will make the window go up and down i.e.
Blue -> white with black trace
Green...

All the wiring for the electric windows goes through the drivers door, thats why when you un-plug the drivers door switch all windows stop working.

Thanks Dave and John for a great tour of the ins and outs of ARB last night. Great to see an Australian company doing so well for itself, given the current state of the auto industry. Big thumbs up...

David, Is there any spots free? If so put me down. Love to see the ins and outs of ARB

I've modified your drawing, basically I've added a diode between the reverse switch and the relay, this will stop the reverse lights coming on with the manual switch:

You can buy them...

It will, however when you turn your work light switch "manual switch" on your reverse lights will come on

Hodge loved how you cable tied the spare fuse. Great idea!!!
