I myself am not a big fan of the LSD, my backend started coming around on me too many times, the last time I was in traffic and had to let off and scare those in back of me when normal people are picking up speed(tilted surface traveling uphill), I removed it when I found 3.3 gears for my 521 kingcab SD25 diesel(turbocharged), they are more freeway friendly for my diesel engine. Does the H233 come with something close to 3.0 gearing? I need better gearing, I have the torque to turn 3.0 gears, but I do not think I can turn 2.7 gears when starting out say when starting up hill, I can get it moving in 2nd gear, but I am riding the clutch more than I like.

Several years ago I used Google earth to search city streets in Mexico(it was not my idea), I found 3 or 4 Datsun/Nissan 720 crew cabs in one city, all very close to each other, one or was it two in a lot that appeared to be nonfunctioning vehicles, the others were parked in the streets.

I would build an engine on the side, gather parts as you can find them, my choice would be a Z22 block out of a car(not the truck) and bore it out to 89mm as I recall, use stock Z24 pistons, find an early square exhaust port head(closed chamber) and have larger valves installed(42mm intakes as I recall) and have the intake passages ported to 1.5", have the head intakes passages ported to match the head, Carburation plays a large part in how much HP you will have, I used Dual SUs on mine. I basically did everything above and had a W53 CC head made into a 219 head, it was cheap when I did it, it is not so cheap anymore, any head you use needs to have hardened seats installed, I use the L20b stock cam as my work truck needs torque, it weighs 3900lbs and it really moves with the engine above. I used a truck Z22 engine on my second LZ23 build, it is not the same engine, it has lower compression, to this day I do not know why, this is why I say use the Z22 engine out of a car, they had EFI on them, better engine as far as I am concerned.

I expect you can say the same thing about the USA, it is the Democrats now(that they won that election is debatable), and there is absolutely nothing to giggle about, and I am calling them Democrat to be nice as there is nothing Democratic about them anymore, since 2019 when the Democrats deployed their terrorist army in the cities of this country it has went down a deep shithole, the light above is getting smaller and smaller, and when the Democrats claimed they had won the election in 2020 their terrorist army stood down without a complaint, and if you cannot see that for what it is.................................................... You know the Vermin running this country consider you and me Vermin, I got this tidbit of information from someone I know that worked for the first Bush in office, they(Bush/Clinton/Bush at that time) describe you and me as prairie dogs/rats that have overpopulated the areas they live in, they consider us vermin that needs to be exterminated, this was at the same time that Bill Gates was supposedly helping the Africans with vaccines(more like experimenting on them), Bill Gates even did an hour long program on PBS about how there are too many people and it was not sustainable, there is also a published healthy population for this planet according to the "World Health Association", that number was also on the Georgia Stonehedge Guidestones/Rocks that got blown up, search it, I provided a link below also, read the "Inscriptions" section for what was written on the stones. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=cd7716281ff9fd17JmltdHM9MTcxMDAyODgwMCZpZ3VpZD0zMjBkOGE2ZC02YWQxLTY1MGItMzdlMC05OWMzNmJmYzY0YzgmaW5zaWQ9NTI1NA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=320d8a6d-6ad1-650b-37e0-99c36bfc64c8&psq=Georgia+Stonehedge+Rocks&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvR2VvcmdpYV9HdWlkZXN0b25lcw&ntb=1

What makes you think you a human being can understand how sheep think? I am pretty sure that the starter of this thread(Gene) would be very unhappy with Mike, he seems to think this thread is entertainment rather than something to be taken seriously like Gene and others on here do, but how would I know how sheep's brains work, I am a human.

OK, just wanted to put that out there, when I first bought my 521 work truck it had a tuck and roll dash cover, that hid a multitude of sins.
-
I have a question, when you look on the underside of the dash top are there giant triangular holes in the metal or is it solid metal? If it is solid metal, you could just strip everything off and paint it, it does not really look that bad stripped and painted, as long as there are no giant triangular holes, they do have a bead rolled spot on both sides but again it does not really look that bad, take a photo of the underside if you do not understand what I am talking about and post it here.

OK, I finally remembered to take photos of my power steering pump/reservoir last night, it is tough to get a clear picture of everything at all angles but I will try to explain what I did. Here you can see how close the hose connection is to where the battery is, you can also see the pulley on the crank, I forgot to mention you need the double pulley, but I do not know if this truck came with a SD series diesel engine or not, your pump might have a different hose connection also which likely would be a lot better. Next is the back of the power steering pump, you can see I used an alternator bracket in there, I also used one of the power steering pump bolts, I do not remember if it was a mount bolt or not, I use whatever brackets I need to stabilize each mount point, I just made it up as I went. Here you can see 4 bolts on the side of the timing gear cover housing, on one of my diesels I made a bracket that mounted to these 4 threaded holes with 12mm bolts, I cannot remember much about it other than it worked fine, this pump in this truck was done before that one. Another photo of the back of the pump at a different angle, you can see the brackets better. The top mount. You can see in this photo I used the engine bracket mount bolts for removing the engine to hold my upper bracket to the block. It is very tight in this area. Another photo of the top bracket from the front, I used front cover bolts to mount it at another point. Another one farther back like the first photo, it barely clears the upper radiator hose The point of all these photos is not so you can make a copy of my setup, it is to give you ideas so you can make something yourself that will work in your situation, the fact is I would never do it this way again, I would use a hardbody pump with a remote reservoir, or a Nissan Sentra pump/reservoir combo, it is smaller/more compact, but it only came on that car and I only ever seen one myself, I mounted it on my 1971 Datsun 521 work truck on the driver side, there are photos of it in the first page of this Ratsun thread in the link below, that thread shows how I added power steering to my 521 also. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=f72b6f116d944f8eJmltdHM9MTcwOTY4MzIwMCZpZ3VpZD0zMjBkOGE2ZC02YWQxLTY1MGItMzdlMC05OWMzNmJmYzY0YzgmaW5zaWQ9NTIwOA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=320d8a6d-6ad1-650b-37e0-99c36bfc64c8&psq=waynos+work+truck+ratsun&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9yYXRzdW4ubmV0L3RvcGljLzI5NzM3LXdheW5vcy01MjEtd29yay10cnVjay8&ntb=1 I make this shit up as I go, if it doesn't work, I figure out a way that it will work, I rarely start over from scratch, I just keep trying something else if it did not work that way, but you need to keep in mind that I am a fabricator and I have tools/welders/grinders, a way of cutting metal with a grinder/cutting disc, this comes with risk, when cutting metal things can go wrong, especially when guards are removed to use the tool in a way it was not meant to be used, I also have been to the eye doctor at least 5 times having metal removed from my eye, one time the doctor took a tour of my eyes(the last time I was there??), he said one of my eyes looked like the surface of the Moon.

I forgot to take photos of my 720 with the Z24 power steering pump mounted, you have to make your own mount bracket, space is also an issue as the battery is mounted on that side. My 521 work truck has a Nissan Sentra power steering pump/reservoir(one unit), I put it on the driver side as the alternator is on the passenger side, my 521 and 720 have SD25 diesel engines which is like your SD23, your 720 has more room, but the hoses/battery want to occupy the same space. Are the original lines for the power steering under the radiator? I will try to remember to take photos of my power steering pump mount tonight, but the library is not open Sunday, so it will be Monday before I can post photos.

Until all you guys figure out this is about depopulating this planet this is a waste of time, everything you guys are talking about are distractions, they(I have posted a list of who they are several times) want you dead, and Trump is not one of them that wants you DEAD.

Drum brakes work fine as long as they are kept up and adjusted properly every once in a while. The only reason I moved on to front disc brakes was because I did not keep the drum brakes adjusted properly, and I hauled heavy loads a lot and I needed the brakes to last longer, drum brakes do not last long before fading because of heat, going downhill for a couple miles in traffic became an issue for me with heavy loads of firewood, I also used to hang glide and driving down gravel mountain roads at 10mph they would also get hot, so I figured out how to put disc brakes on my 521 back in 2003(before Ratsun existed), I used early 720 brakes, but moved on to 1990 D21 V6 2wd dual piston caliper brakes, but the 1986 Nissan 720 brakes work just as good, but it is not a bolt in package, parts need to be found and/or made, the heading says Budget.

The diesel power steering pumps/packages are very rare in the USA and the pump is located under the injection pump, most my diesel trucks I have made and sold had power steering pumps from z24 engines or hardbodies(D21) and I made the pump mounts and found piping that I made work, the only diesel power steering packages I have seen were from 720 diesel trucks imported from Canada. By the way the reservoir for the diesel power steering pump was located near the front of the injection pump and is separate from the pump itself. I can take photos of my aftermarket made setups to give you an idea how to do it.

The VE injection pump is the one the factories use when turbocharging an engine even on American engines, but I heard they only last about 60,000 miles, while these inline pumps last 300,000 miles plus, I like the inline pumps like you have, I actually imported an engine from Australia with a VE pump that was wore out, just after receiving that engine I called and talked with a guy that was selling an SD22 turbocharged engine locally on Craigslist, his username on the Nissan Diesel Forums is/was Knucklehead as I recall, he is the one the that posted a photo of a bright red diesel engine with a turbo on it, at that time I had successfully made a draw thru turbo setup, but it had issues, one important issue was when I let off the pedal the air got cut off(butterfly closed in the carb looking thing on the intake), since the turbo is spooled up this created a lot of vacuum, so much vacuum that oil was pulled thru the turbo seal, in theory if you were going down a pass you could empty the oil pan of oil pumping it into the engine, I made a vacuum release valve and got it down to less than 2psi vacuum, but it still sucked oil thru the seal, just not as much, keep in mind that they make turbos that the seal will not leak under vacuum, but they are expensive, that said when talking with the guy with the engine on Craigslist he told me how he did it(piped his engine), it was complicated and required an extra vacuum pump but I listened, I then told him how I did mine as a draw thru, he suggested that mine was running lean, likely because the carb thing on the intake was so close to the turbo, and I should add vacuum to the vent line which would move the spring/diaphragm in the injection pump to a richer position, the way it was as a draw thru I could only get to about 70/73mph almost completely floored(I am positive it was getting really good mileage), so I did just what he suggested and took it on a test drive, it easily went a 100mph, but it still had the vacuum issue, I thought about it for a little while and thought what if I made it a blow thru and piped it so both lines to the injection pump seen boost, the rest is history, it worked great, I even figured out a way to make it run richer and get me more HP, but there is this ragged line between more HP and having the engine start to try and run away(uncontrolled RPMs), I piped it that way and I thought about for a while, it had enough power without doing that so I just leave that valve closed now, it will still easily do over a 100mph as it is now, but redline is 4000rpms on that engine, and I am really close to 4000rpms at a 100mph. I read that guys thread and even messaged that guy in Australia with that drift truck, I made a setup just like he did and came to the same conclusion he did, it worked fine for drifting(floored on the gas pedal or brake pedal), but it did not work well for normal driving, he moved on to a VE type injection pump as I recall. I live in Vancouver WA near Interstate 205, you are west of Seattle, I bought a couple diesel 720s near where you are and drugged them home back in 2011ish, that is a long drive to look at an engine. You need to know how to weld to make the exhaust from the exhaust manifold outlet to the turbocharger, then you need to make the exhaust pipe from the turbo outlet to the rear of the truck, good thing is no muffler is needed as the turbo is the muffler, bad thing is it is very expensive to pay to have someone make that stuff for you, either you need to know how to make this stuff yourself, or you need a buddy that can make it for you, I made a couple completely new exhaust manifolds from scratch so I could mount the turbo directly to the exhaust manifold, but that is a lot of work, it is just easier to make a pipe going from the exhaust manifold to the turbocharger and mount it where you have room, but either way it starts getting tight in the engine compartment on the driver side. My 521 kingcab SD25 diesel engine was found on the side of a guys garage in the mud, it had this turbocharger connected to it that was too big, I never tried it with that setup, but they had someone that knew how to weld cast iron exhaust manifolds so what I have is the turbocharger mounted to the exhaust manifold between number 1 and 2 cylinders and the stock exhaust manifold outlet was cut shorter and welded closed to make room for the piping of the exhaust from the turbocharger, I sent 3 exhaust manifolds off with a member here to have the same thing done to them and the scumbag likely thru them away and he would not answer his phone anymore, do not deal with anyone named Darren/Darrel/Derek or something like that. I will never have/drive a diesel engine without a turbocharger, I got 25mpg in the city no matter what, but I only got 27mpg on the freeway because I was almost floored all the time trying to go 70mph(without turbo), now the city mileage is the same(with turbo), but I only get 30mpg on the freeway because I drive 75mph+ all the time, if I could drive 55mph/60mph I suspect I would get close to 40mpg, the guy I bought the SD25 turbocharged engine from in my 720 says he got 48mpg with propane injection driving 55/60mph, but he had it piped wrong and the exhaust gas temps were very high, but he was very close to having it piped the way I do.

You need to understand how to do it, no one has ever turbocharged one of these SD engines with an inline injection pump and posted about a positive result except me, not even on the Nissan Diesel Forums, when I posted how I did it on that forum they questioned me, asked how I did it and still did not understand, then I drew a diagram of how I piped it(every line) and I am not sure they actually believed me. It is really simple if you understand how the vacuum throttle works with the diaphragm inside the injection pump, simply both the rubber hoses that go to the injection pump(vacuum and vent lines) need to see the same boost for things to work properly. There are other things involved like making the piping(intake/exhaust/vacuum/turbocharger mounting), but there is a lot more room in the 720 engine compartment, that photo I posted is of my engine compartment of my 1969 Datsun 521 kingcab with my turbocharged SD25 diesel engine, it has power steering and power front disc brakes, there is not a lot of room left in that engine compartment, the photo below is of my 1980 Datsun 720 engine(SD25) compartment which also has an intercooler. Like I mentioned, it may have been the turbocharger picked that resulted in a less than favorable result, I just know that the turbo I have in my 521 kingcab gave me a great result.
