Splitting off from another forklift thread...

Do you have pictures of that Nissan/Datsun engine? I suspect it's an "E" engine which is a great engine. Let me know if you need and "help" with it, I've turned wrenches for Nissan for 22 years. I actually just replaced a headgasket on one of those a week or so ago, brought back memories of the early days, LOL,

The lift is a model FG30HT-12 Type G
Serial #501422A
Can't find anything meaningful on the engine other than Nissan
