Has the wiring at the back of the alternator been modified? does it still have the original connector for the two smaller wires? or has this been replaced with aftermarket crimp terminals?

No worries mate, your alternator has a problem.
Get it tested, repaired/replaced then we can start to work through your other electrical problems.

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.

Good luck with your holiday mate, hope all goes well. I know i`m a little late but you possibly could of disconected the alternater each night to stop the power drain and reconected in the morning to start.
