The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
X2 with Mr. Keep the compressor and turn into endless air.. those compressors crank 400L/m and above 600psi I have been told.. stuff ya arb junk... this'll pump a flat 40" tyre up in 30 seconds...
Once converted you can use rattle guns out in the bush, I used the one on PGS comp truck years ago
awesome amount of air, would recommend fitting and air tank, but yeah great accessory to have, You could air
up 4 trucks in under 15 mins, great for cleaning air filters, you name it.

I thought they were ok to use straight off but needed some kind of lubrication
and away you went, but at least you'll have all brackets,
Highly recommend keeping compressor for endless air style air,
101 uses out in the bush , plus if you go this way plumb in front and rear
outlets, from a tank with a pressure switch, you'll love it.

You only needed to remove the fan belt (and only if the bearings where noisy). The rest could have stayed on the truck - unless you needed the space for another project.
I surprised you removed it considering where you are located.
Personally I would have had the system fixed

It didn't work when I purchased the vehicle, and just kept getting in the way when I was working on other stuff. Much more room in the engine bay without it all in there and it can always go back in if I change my mind. Won't be for a while now though - I deregistered it a week or so ago as I was sick of trying to fix the auto. Bought a suzuki swift to get around.......will go back to the Patrol in a year or 2 and try again.
Do your research. Learn the rules. Learn the game. Be successful.
