Filled the reservoir and test ran the pump on a closed loop back into the tank, bit of grunt there, soft starter as well. shot a 3/4" stream 8m onto the roadway, but of course not a real world test but impressive.

I think we need to run bets at $10 each to guess the weight of this beast when it’s done. The closest to the mark gets the kitty.

OK, I don't exactly know how much it weighs, but its been over the scales at 3320 and 3940kg. The 3320kg was for the engineering brake test/GVM upgrade and the 3940 was in semi battle ready config. Fuel tanks would have been full, water tank full, fridge full of grog in order to get actual front and rear axle loads for the spring selection, and 1 was not in the vehicle at time of weighing. Vehicle did not have the s/c or interchiller assy either. The vehicle would not have had the camping gear or full recovery gear or travel tools I carry.
I would expect a starting weight around 4150kg without me in it, loaded for a weekend away - that's my opening bid - No Driver, but loaded for a weekend trip up the Vic High Country. @mudski, maybe set this up as a new page?

Mark, Phil has done so much work on it, I bet he's fitted a Brock polariser voodoo unit and an anti gravity device he's already forgotten about.

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.
