Nissan NP300 Propshaft Replacement Parts

Yes — the NP300 Navara is a rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive pickup truck, so it does have a propshaft (or two on 4WD versions: a front and a rear propshaft). Front-wheel-drive vehicles never carry a propshaft, but the NP300 is not front-wheel-drive, so the part genuinely exists on this model. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your vehicle is 2WD or 4WD, as the shaft count and dimensions differ.

These are two distinct generations — the D40 ran from roughly 2005 to 2015, while the NP300 (D23) launched in the UK around 2016 — and the chassis, driveline dimensions and transfer case arrangements are different between them. A D40 propshaft is very unlikely to be a straight swap onto a D23, and we would not recommend assuming interchangeability across that generational boundary. Confirm the exact shaft length, flange pattern and yoke type with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Yes, significantly — a 2WD NP300 has a single rear propshaft running from the gearbox to the rear axle, whereas a 4WD model has both a front and a rear propshaft, plus a transfer case in between. You must specify your drivetrain layout to the breaker, and ideally quote your VIN or registration so they can confirm the correct unit. Buying the wrong configuration means the shaft will simply not fit.

Trim level alone does not affect propshaft fitment on the NP300 Navara — the shaft is determined by the drivetrain (2WD or 4WD) and engine size, not by whether the truck is a Visia or a Tekna. What does matter is whether you have the 2.3-litre twin-turbo or single-turbo engine, as power and torque outputs can influence driveline component specifications; confirm this detail with the breaker against your registration. You may simply receive a propshaft without any trim-related cosmetic differences to worry about.

The NP300 Navara (D23) generation has been in production from around 2016 onwards and received updates during its run, but whether a specific propshaft crosses those mid-life changes without issue is not something we can guarantee here. The generation boundary is the key factor for major driveline differences, and within the same D23 generation compatibility is more likely — but shaft lengths and flange specs can vary with drivetrain or engine variant. Provide your full registration to the breaker so they can verify the exact part number matches before you commit.

It can do — higher-output engines produce more torque, and driveline components including propshafts are sometimes uprated to handle that load. On the NP300, the 2.3-litre engine is available in single-turbo and twin-turbo states of tune, and there may be differences in the propshaft specification between them. Always confirm your engine variant and output with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the correctly rated shaft.
