Used Nissan NP300 Crankshaft

The crankshaft is an internal engine component and every variant of the Nissan NP300 has one, regardless of engine or gearbox choice. Whether a 2010 unit crosses into a 2015 vehicle depends entirely on whether both share the same engine code — check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm this before ordering. Bring that engine code to the breaker and ask them to match it directly against their donor vehicle, as specification details can shift across production years.

The engine code is the single most important detail for crankshaft fitment — it determines the bore, stroke, and journal dimensions, so even two NP300s of the same year can need different cranks if they carry different engines. The NP300 was sold in the UK with diesel options including the 2.5 dCi unit, but confirm your exact code from your V5 certificate or a VIN check rather than relying on badge or displacement alone. Give the breaker your engine code and ask them to verify it matches the donor vehicle before you commit.

No, trim level has no bearing on crankshaft fitment whatsoever — the crankshaft follows the engine, not the badge or specification pack. A Tekna and an Acenta running the same engine code will use the same crank. Focus on matching engine code, fuel type, and confirming the part with your breaker against your registration.

The gearbox type does not directly determine crankshaft specification — the crank is matched to the engine, not the transmission. However, gearbox type can be a useful cross-reference detail to give your breaker so they can confirm the complete donor vehicle picture. The engine code remains the primary matching factor, so always lead with that when speaking to a breaker.

Some engine families were used across multiple Nissan commercial and pickup models, so there is a possibility of crossover, but you should never assume compatibility based on model name alone. Differences in engine variant, specification, or production period can mean the crank dimensions or reluctor ring configuration differ even between apparently similar units. Give the breaker both vehicles' engine codes and let them confirm interchange before purchasing.

Alongside your engine code, it is worth having your vehicle's registration to hand so the breaker can run a full check, and note your fuel type and approximate year as useful supporting details. Whether any ancillary components or sensor configurations changed mid-production on a given engine variant is something to confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as these details are not always publicly documented. Being thorough upfront saves time and reduces the chance of receiving a part that doesn't suit your exact build.
