    Is Big, Is Good! Better to over do it than suffer from voltage drop. Sudso does the mathes and I don't doubt the calculations at all. Just a big fan of going large to the back of the car to a distribution fuse box then work it out from there.

    7 years ago I was fitting a Big Boss compressor for the back of the car and ran a decent wire but the thing just did not perform to expection. Re ran the wire 3 times bigger each time till I was running BIG stuff and the performance increased each time. Same thing happened to my 80lt weaco when I first got it, on off on off and not cold. Bloody voltage drop.

    Go large. Do it once.

    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.
