Check out at 18 sec's were the block blew in half.

100psi, good effort though.

Bin the TD42, TB48DE all the way.

If Nissan dropped the VQ35DE into the D22 Id seriously consider one.

I the petrol

 

[Dave]

Oh or even VH45DE it.

 

[FatBoy89]

I hate petrol

 

[KraftyPg]

Well don't sniff it.

 

[FatBoy89]

Anyways the rd28 is almost unkillable. The pumps hate any type of partially shot fuel though

 

[FatBoy89]

Took forever haha

Decided to
Pay the local Indians fellas to give her a wash.
Top bunch of blokes and a top wash for $40.00
Keeping local business on track.

140v geez that will run the fridge fora long time.

Don't suppose they want to wash mine too. Will have to get up early tomorrow I'm due over the pits at 10am to do my service and I don't envy getting underneath it with all the mud and crap that's currently there.

Yeah it actually runs a step up transformer to 240v then back into and inverter that runs 12 volt into a 4 way 240v plug and then into a Ctek 240v charger which charges the third battery directly wired to the fridge.

Best possible setup

 

[KraftyPg]

What if you take the ute to the USA, you'll need a 120V system, or maybe 10 12v systems. Best to be prepared for any situation.

You're right, lucky I have the canopy for extra space for inverters.

 

[KraftyPg]

You can always get a camper trailer just for the inverters.

You're onto it mate!

So now I need to look into power in the tub. I figured I'd run one dual core cable back to the tub and then split it somehow. Put one into a 12v cigarette type socket and then power the tub lights. How I am going to split I I have not looked into yet.

 

[FatBoy89]

Will probably use this. I guess it gives the extra safety of another fuse (will have a fuse on main cabling next to battery). It has 1 in cable and the. 6 outs all fused. Will only use a couple outs but it's good to have them. Will run the 3 canopy led lights all on one switch. I also have a remote switch for these led lights too.

 

[FatBoy89]

This

 

[KraftyPg]

I've got something very similar in mine. Ebay special cost nearly as much as the fuses that go in it.

 

[FatBoy89]

Well I just ordered these two items.
Wiring I'll get from the local jaycar. And I got hundreds of crimp terminals and plenty of solder.
I also didn't plan for how I am going to run wiring for the roof rack lights. I'll sort that out later though.

 

[FatBoy89]

I haven even mounted the fridge slide yet haha. Should probably do that this weekend.

My fuse block is an 8 fuse version of that one above with the LED's to show when a fuse is blown.

I'm still carting a bag of cement around in the tub of my ute because it seems like too much effort to take it out....no point rushing into anything.
