    Re-positioned the ATF cooler for better airflow. Now to find some steep hills to test it all out and decide whether or not I need to also fit a fan.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

    Finally got around to putting the Dynamat Extreme and Focal BAM in the doors and rear quarters..much much quieter now..wired up the driving lights..but they got to go as hi beam drowns them out lol started making the new plate to hold my diff breathers, enlarged the hole in the firewall (where the clutch would go through on a manual) so that that I could run all my wiring into the cab and made a new cover plate for it..

    Next is to work out where the 24-12v reducer is going and to make a new bracket to hold my phone cradle..

    Made the twin battery tray for the 24v bank to go in the footwell behind the passenger seat yesterday. After doing all the welding then grinding it all down and realising I have achieved Fark all penetration I turned the bloody welder up and do the whole thing again!

    Got a little more to do to it today then its ready to mount.

    Bring on a 24v Himount!! Hell yes we will!!

    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.

    I will use the warn 6hp12v motor on 24v. Will halve the current draw and double the speed and power of the winch. Crazy good.

    Surely if the speed and power doubles the current draw would stay the same. Half current draw would be same speed and power. Surely?

    Electric motors also have induced currents (Generated by the magnetism inside the windings), which oppose the supply current. Higher supply voltages over come these opposing currents to an extent. MR won't quite achieve double speed or power, but it will certainly go a lot better.

    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    It will also draw far less 24v Amps and given the massive increase in Line Speed of the winch the Max Current draw will be less for far less time making a 55amp 24v Alternator plenty of output.

    The trade off is an isolated 24v charging and storage system on a 12v Car.
