Nissan Navara Crankshaft Replacement Parts

The Nissan Navara D40 ran from 2005 to 2015 and received a facelift around 2010, but the crankshaft fitment is driven by engine code rather than model year or facelift stage — a 2.5-litre diesel YD25DDTi engine will use a crankshaft specific to that engine regardless of whether the donor car is pre- or post-facelift. You must match the engine code exactly, which you can find on your V5 or via a VIN check. Confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as ancillary or internal specification changes can occur within a production run.

The NP300 Navara (D23) replaced the D40 from 2016 onwards and uses different engine variants, so a crankshaft from a D23 is very unlikely to be compatible with a D40 even if both are 2.3-litre or 2.5-litre diesels — these are fundamentally different engine families with different engine codes. Always match the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check, not just the displacement or fuel type. Ask your breaker to verify compatibility against both engine codes before committing to a purchase.

No — body style makes no difference whatsoever to crankshaft fitment on the Navara. The crankshaft is an internal engine component and is determined entirely by the engine code, not by whether the vehicle is a King Cab, Double Cab, or any other body configuration. Focus on matching the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type when speaking to a breaker.

Trim level has no bearing on crankshaft fitment — a Visia and a Tekna with the same engine code will use the same crankshaft. The crankshaft is matched to the engine, not the specification level or the equipment fitted to the vehicle. Tell your breaker your engine code (from the V5 or a VIN check) and they will identify the correct part regardless of trim.

The gearbox type does not directly change the crankshaft itself, but it can indicate which engine variant is fitted to your vehicle, so it is still worth mentioning to your breaker. The most important detail remains the engine code, which you can confirm from your V5 logbook or a VIN check. Supplying both the engine code and gearbox type gives the breaker the best chance of matching a suitable unit.

Both years sit within the D40 generation (2005–2015), and if the engine code is identical — most commonly the YD25DDTi — the crankshaft specification may well be shared, but internal specification changes can occur mid-production even within the same generation. You should confirm the engine codes on both vehicles match exactly using your V5 or a VIN check, then ask the breaker to verify the part is a direct fit against your registration before buying.
