Hi all,
I am new to this post and I apologise if this has been bought up before. I have searched the
forum but could not find any answers for my search criteria.
I am currently considering buying a japanese import SWB Nissan Patrol GQ 4.2 Diesel. It's a nice vehicle, low k's and checks out mechanically and the price is right. My biggest concern is that the electrical system is 24 volt. I would like to eventually kit this vehicle out and would like to know if the 24 volt system limits my capability? All I know about the system is that it is 2 x 12 volt batteries in series and the whole system is 24 volt. It already has a factory (PT?) winch.
It already has two batteries, is it possible to setup a 3rd battery to run accesories independent of the starting battery like a 12 volt dual battery setup? Does charging cause problems?
OR am I better steering away from the 24 volt system??
Any other info on the jap imports would be great. I have been advised that Nissan never assembled any 4wd in Oz and all are 'imports' just the country specification (24 volt) is different.
thanks...
