With regards to the turbo oil feed pipes with the difficult to get to inner M6 bolt I performed a modification to make it easier to remove and replace. The gasket under there was leaking which is why I had to disconnect that flange. That inner bolt has very restricted access so I came up with a...

If you undo the bracket holding the dipstick and pull it away from the engine plus unclip the power steering reservoir and pull that back it opens up reasonable access for your right hand/arm to go down and across towards the filter. I use a typical metal strap style remover (Toolpro brand photo...

YD25Frontier ... I'd be interested to see how you go with the proposed engine swap. A series of videos uploaded to YT or documentation on this forum I'm sure would be off interest to many.

While it's apart check to see if there's any wear in the oil pump. It's integrated into the lower alloy chain cover so it's coming off anyway. If you're keeping the vehicle for a while consider replacing that lower cover/oil pump. A good quality replacement part is about $400 and the labour's...

Keith Admanson Auto Repairs in Osborne Park has done lots of Navara cam chains and he uses the double row chain kits from www.yd25.com.au. He did mine four years ago and it's about 10 to 12 hours labour plus the parts/consumables so a price of around $4k is about right. Four years ago his...

YD25.com sell an upgrade kit and they note the plastic tee is a common problem. The kit includes a replacement brass tee. http://yd25.com.au/index.php/yd25-s-engineered-products/yd25-s-engineered-products-4/yd25-d40-r51-heater-oil-cooler-hoses

This is a bloke in South West, Western Australia removing the engine from his D40. It's a Spain (VSK). As he says "you have to remove so much stuff to get to something else" Then the infamous Des from Yorkshire.

The wrecking yards have lots of them but they usually sell the jack and tool kit as one item. You haven't said it you have a Spain or Thai D40. Like many parts the jack tools might be different so I'd advise you check. When asking for advice or ideas it helps if you say what your vehicle is and...

The SCV is different depnding on Thai or Spain. There are many differences between Thai and Spanish too numerous to mention. I've learnt from experienced it's safer to double check and purchase the correct part for your version.

I have a 2011 Thai and replaced the standard tank with an ARB 132 litre long range. The fuel level sensor unit and connection plate that bolts into the top of the tank is different between Thai and Spain. A Thai unit can't be fitted into a Spanish tank and vice versa. The ARB tanks have...

https://nissan.7zap.com/en/ I've been using this for years.

Recently I had to remove the valve cover because the top injector seals were leaking again. I have a 2011 D40 single cab Thai build 2.5 diesel manual tray back. Removing the valve cover is pretty straight forward but it's made more difficult with the "Exhaust Support" bracket part # 14443-EB70A...

Yes. A relay bringing power direct from the battery triggered by the feed to the cigar/power socket is the way to go. It's easy to to access to.

I just had the same problem with my Suzuki GSXR750 motorcycle. The bike's been unused for nearly four years in a hot humid environment. The first start saw oil in the radiator. I did the oil cooler test described above and sure enough there was a stream of air bubbles coming from the centre. The...

If you have the YD25 diesel it's possibly the oil cooler/heat exchanger that's split internally allowing oil to pass into the cooling system. It's a circular item bolted to the side of the oil filter housing under the filter. It's not too difficult to replace and not that expensive. The easiest...

There's a fellow here in Perth who does nothing but used bullbars and brackets. I bought my genuine Nissan bullbar for my Thai 2011 D40 from Zak. It cost me $500 including the brackets for the Thai. He'll ship items to the east coast to. He was helpful and was a walking encyclopedia about 4wd...

No I didn't have any problem finding someone because I only had to look in the mirror! I bought a universal ball joint removal kit on eBay for $65 and did the job myself. It was quick and not technically difficult and apart from the removal kit only standard hand tools are required. I made a...

You can tell by inspecting it. Google and YouTube are your friends when researching these types of problems ... just type in "what does a blown blade fuse look like".

https://navlife.com.au/d40-series-service-manuals/ Here you can download the workshop manual in sections or just open them from the Navlife cloud drive. Owners Manual is there to. The AC compressor is on the passengers side (for RHD) of the engine down low below the alternator. There's a fuse...

Check if your AC compressor electric clutch is working because it sounds like it's not. With the engine running and AC on it should click in and out to regulate the temperature. If it's not working first check the fuse. If that's ok check there's power at the connector on the AC compressor. Use...
