24v ???

[CptClinac]

Hi guys,
I have a 24V safari (circa '88). I would love to see the EL.pdf for a 24V GQ Y60.
I have 2 copies of the (full manual ???) and they both claim to be for all models 87 - 96 but it would appear that Nissan never actually manufactured a 24V Safari.

Can anybod assist??
Thanks
Dave.

Hey mate I see you asked this question a while back too but no joy.

If anyone comes across it then let us know and I'll put it up here for everyone.

The 24v models is what was imported from Japen to New Zealand, my understanding is that the 24v thing was more to do with them being a mil spec. I have looked around alot in the last 6months for a manual for the 24v and dont think one was ever made sorry

closest ive seen is what Yendor showed me from a russian issue manual
Mines an ex import from japan,we very rarely got 12v safari's...not sure on the patrol though?

[kiwijase]

what did you need to know,I can comnpare mine if any help at all

That's an affirmative there.
No joy at all.
I now have 3 copies of the manual from 3 sources.
All have similar details.
None allow for 24V systems.
As far as I can see the discrepancies are quite simple and obvious.
The main one is that the major starter & alternator specs are irrelevant.
But there is also a rather tricky one involving the supply of 12V for dash instruments.
From my poking around there are 3 low power feeds in the dash area.
1, always live
2, live on ACC
3, live on park lights.
These go to
the infamous clock
the radio
(elsewhere?????)
The voltage of these lines are 13.8V aprox.
My 50W radio dims the clock alarmingly even at low levels so the current delivery of the supply is rather limited.
I have no idea where the converter is, but I have found an interesting box just forward of the jack recess left side rear. The manual doesn't show any gizmos in the area.

So - the good news is...
If your clock is irepairable in a (fabled) 24V truck - you can get one from a wrecker from the multitude of 12V trucks about. (Hopefully you can find one that does go).

Thanks for your thoughts

Thanks Kiwijase & Tank,
I'm just a fussy old engineer who likes his documentation to have relevance to his equipment.
I did find it frustrating when I was fitting a new radio and had to reverse engineer the machine.
And fixing the infamous clock too.

But all is under control again, thanks
Dave

If your's is a wagon, I think this will be the factory reducer.

Good chance your gauges are also 12 volt (except voltmeter).

[CptClinac]

Agreed.
Yup mine is a high top wagon.

Thanks all
Dave
