    Compressor with external tank build.

    Most of the system is already built from my last patrol.

    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.

    With all the bits left after taking the motor and compressor off you have to be in front I reckon. The pressure switch will handle the current through a relay but not the compressor at 12VDC.
    Drain, pressure switch, fittings, regulator, gauge and tank for $80 sounds good. Most probably from that cheap manufacturing country but it will do far a while.
    Add a 12VDC relay and 12VDC compressor plus a few hoses and fittings could be a winner.
    Looks like Silent has used the same stuff in his DIY project here, not sure but looks very similar.
