Ok tonight i started mocking up the install of the ram for my hydraulic assisted steering.  I bought the Ram from SurplusCenter.Com I got the 1.5x8x1 Double action ram.  Now the hard part has arrived.  I have to Tapp the stearing box which will be a bit of invesigative work.  Most people on pirate4x4 in the nissan group seem to think just paying texas offroad to do it is the way to go. However I want to do this inhouse, so stay tuned hopefully this will come together.

Here is a pic of the tie rod before test fitting the Ram.

Here is the Ram fitted while the wheels are turned fully to the right. (Ram extended)

Thats it for tonight.  Tommorow I will start to cut the plate i'm going to attach to the axle.  Also going to investigate removing the Steering box (or steering gear as others call it)
