    That's tidy mate, that's going to get really busy in there as your running all your switching circuits to there as well, you will end up with a mass of wires going in and out.

    Consider fitting a fused and insulated positive terminal post inside that box so you can supply each of the relays from within the box rather than running 8 wires to the battery. Or are you just going to run a single positive from relay to relay?

    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.

    I did a similar thing in the GQ but did it under the centre console and fitted a fuse board into the console. Given all the switches are I. The console it made sense to run a big supply to there and then fuse all the relays close to the switches. Kept the wired out of the engine bay too.

    It will get busy! Mine did. Nice planning though mate.

    Yep mate thats what goes in the section blank section in the middle. The compressor being on inline fuse is on its own.

    My next job is to run another decent gauge line to the rear to make another box. I've already ran a ground so I'll borrow that.

    Those fuse blocks are really good, found them a few years back, best I have seen for this sort of project.
    The way you have done this is really clever, tidy, compact and solid
    Cheers
