    Don't use AIR CON, want to remove system. What can I take out, what needs to stay

    Hi. GQ auto on dual fuel. Air con has never worked since purchase, and I don't want it on the vehicle.

    Can anyone tell me what's good to remove as well as what needs to stay. It doesn't look like too much needs to stay - compressor maybe?

    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.

    Once converted you can use rattle guns out in the bush, I used the one on PGS comp truck years ago
    awesome amount of air, would recommend fitting and air tank, but yeah great accessory to have, You could air
    up 4 trucks in under 15 mins, great for cleaning air filters, you name it.

    I thought they were ok to use straight off but needed some kind of lubrication
    and away you went, but at least you'll have all brackets,
    Highly recommend keeping compressor for endless air style air,
    101 uses out in the bush , plus if you go this way plumb in front and rear
    outlets, from a tank with a pressure switch, you'll love it.

    You only needed to remove the fan belt (and only if the bearings where noisy). The rest could have stayed on the truck - unless you needed the space for another project.

    I surprised you removed it considering where you are located.

    Personally I would have had the system fixed

    It didn't work when I purchased the vehicle, and just kept getting in the way when I was working on other stuff. Much more room in the engine bay without it all in there and it can always go back in if I change my mind. Won't be for a while now though - I deregistered it a week or so ago as I was sick of trying to fix the auto. Bought a suzuki swift to get around.......will go back to the Patrol in a year or 2 and try again.
