In Australia you're getting the 2.3L displacement engine, which is a Twin turbos. It depends on the market places and countries, here we're getting the 2.5L displacement, which is a single turbo. Also surprisingly, here the Navarra isn't in the middle range prices in the category, the Navarra is globally the most affordable in the category, and often offering the best prices for the features inside.

As a Nissan mechanic For anyone considering a nav please get them serviced every 10,000km not 20,000km as per Nissans service schedule 20,000km is far too long for any car and the only reason they push them that long is to make it more appealing to business/fleet vehicles and penny saving muppets as it lowers the cost of the vehicle over its lifetime making it more cost effective half the issues they have can be prevented by a earlier service schedule

[@jpcaptured799]

Spot on advice mate, thanks for sharing 🙌🙌

[@jlhgthijbgr263]

What do you mean with serviced ? (english isn’t my daily used language)

[@jasonguzman1672]

​@@jlhgthijbgr263preventive maintenance schedule. Regular car checkup with dealer or trusted mechanic.

Hey mate. Im on the sunny coast in Queensland and I've got a S1 NP300 (2016) and have just hit 200k on the clock and still love it. You're dead right about the shitty paint! I swear the use chalk as a base coat! Mine is in metallick fleck black and it gets scratches if you look at it the wrong way. I also had the factory hot pipe leak and got the factory fix, then again 3 months later. Now - because of your video, I have a CRG replacement hot pipe and absolutely love it! I swear it has better response and a hint more power because of it. I also installed a DPF back straight pipe dumping at the rear axel and, as I still have the DPF, its still almost silent. Theres a touch more turbo whistle and it spools up a little faster, but it's no louder with no muffler. Keep up the great videos mate. Love your work!

[@olliemills8810]

Your videos are the reason I’m selling my D40 and getting a Np300

[@jpcaptured799]

Nice! You won't look back mate the NP300 is a solid rig 👍😁

[@elmanguilimotan9906]

Your Np300 still can kick ass. I love that wheels very nice

[@davidcochran1815]

Amazing video mate i started to follow your page. I own a navara np300 n-trek warrior brand new I own it for 3 years in November with 50,000kms on it and I never had no problems with it yet lol this is my frist 4x4 i own. I got a big list of upgrades coming up soon can not wait. Looking forward seeing more up coming videos thanks mate for sharing 👌

[@4x4Equals16_]

ive got a nav and absolutely love mine too!

[@VidadeAP]

Nice truck !! I have a 2013 Nissan frontier here in the US and I want to build it up so I can travel the states & maybe one day take it across the pond and adventure elsewhere 🙌🔥

[@craigingram480]

Really found that informative i have the same model ive had the chassis braced on mine and gvm upgrade taking the gvm from 2910 to 3070 we to a 20ft van but i think it definitely needs an engine tune love what you do mate keep up the good work.

[@jpcaptured799]

Thanks Craig! Sounds like you have done some good upgrades mate, what brand chassis bracing kit did you use?

[@fakehandyandy904]

Having a catch can on the nav is definitely been worth it, they breath heavy! Also another positive about them, they have dash cup holders. Dying trend that should be a must for any car.

[@jpcaptured799]

Agree about the catch can. I can't believe I forgot to mention the cup holders 🙃 such a good spot for them.

[@clintwilliams8026]

Are there any negative to putting a catch can on at all?

[@fakehandyandy904]

@@clintwilliams8026 not that I can think off. I've heard Nissan will void warranty on rear mains but my warranty is long gone

[@jpcaptured799]

@@clintwilliams8026 not that I can think of mate. As long as the catch can is regularly drained/serviced and hooked up properly.

[@aarons5324]

Can you please do a video of the body lift! 🎉 great review, I love my nav

[@jasondorrans3858]

Awesome review mate. Had my Nav for 4 years and haven't thought about parting with it, especially when 4wd prices went through the roof (could've got all my money back, including what I spent on mods, and got a bit extra). I did notice went you had the bonnet up, and you may want to look into it, is the pipe that goes from the airbox to the turbo. It is pretty weak and squishes under acceleration. ATI sell a stronger one that I have and has helped.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Great overview.

[@jpcaptured799]

Cheers mate, thanks for checking it out 👍🏼🙂

[@patrickfrohloff5805]

Hey man great video, really good explanation on everything. Your exhaust you have the dpf still in?

[@Terranmmhl]

Solid review.. About 2 weeks late. Just bought an ironman bullbar and got new tyres and couldn't find a good enough influencer to tell me the Razrs were the way to go 😅 Totally agree with the pros and cons list. I was the same, I didn't know if I'd have mine for as long as i have, but I have no intentions to get rid of it anymore. Such a great car!

[@jpcaptured799]

Same here man, the np300 has honestly surprised the hell out of me.. what tyres did you end up going with?

[@jontait6923]

Thanks for the run down mate. CRG did a great job on sorting out my Nav as well. He knows them inside and out and proves it on his own Nav.

[@jpcaptured799]

He sure does mate 🤘🏼

[@atvcampingadventures1728]

Nav life mate 👌👍👍

[@flacky93]

Need abit more gap in the bar bro 💪🏽 or get ironman to sort it out for ya brilliant rig man love it

[@GetThatBread]

Nav goals!

[@jpcaptured799]

Hell yea brother! cheers for watching 🍻

[@chadsmall9447]

The bull bar movement is a problem they aren’t meant to move as it’s chassis mounted when you first mentioned the cracked headlight I thought the body mounts are to blame they will have a crush rubber bush all vehicles have them over time they soften I would think when you do the body lift that you should replace the bushes also that should reduce body movement but that bullbar needs to be fixed or replaced they should never move

[@Brennomac83]

The only issues I have had with mine after 80k is the ironman bullbar on a hard pull shifted forward, and I ran over a deliniator and it bent my sump. So I put custom offroad bash plates on it. Warranty wise it's never been back since I bought it new, it is an auto as well, tuned with all the right gear. I love it, I really do. I enjoy driving it so much and I have also had a ton of cars.

[@jpcaptured799]

Seems the Ironman bars are not holding up really well for a few people 😐. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is having the issues though. Yeh me too man, it's probably up there with my favorite 4bi so far.

[@Brennomac83]

@JP Captured yep definitely, tj jack had his bend the mounts really bad at the Cape. I will just make better mounts for it, I also want a live axle wagon to go balls out and keep the black nav for family tourer duties.

[@user-zv1vu6dq5n]

Man love your work.. Enjoy watching your videos learning heaps. Just picked up my new my23 pro4x. Can’t wait to start the mods just don’t wont to void the warranty. Any suggestions on things that don’t void it ??

[@jpcaptured799]

Hell yea man! Congratulations on your new purchase 🥳 one could argue that any modification from standard can void certain warranties through Nissan. I talk about avoid having a catch can installed if you present to Nissan with a rear main seal leak warranty claim. I'd suggest doing the first 1000k service with Nissan then using your preferred service centre after that. Service the Nav every 10'000k instead of the recommended 20'000k service clock. If you Keep your filters clean and your moving parts serviced 🤞🏼 you shouldn't need to pay a visit to Nissan for a long while. Life's to short not to build the car you want, so get out there and enjoy it mate 👍🏼 cheers for watching ☺️

[@jasondaley6723]

Well done

[@jpcaptured799]

Thanks mate ☺️

I have the 2.5 single turbo engine, 4X2 drive train with the 6 speed manual transmission. What type of upgrade would you reccomend for a clutch kit for mainly street use with occasional rugged terrain?

Hey JP! where can I get a diff locker if I live in Chile, can I import it from somewere? Cheers!

How can a catch can cause too much pressure?

Anyone got Issues with water getting into stainless snorkel?? Not sure if i want to change to it yet getting mixed reviews

My Ironman bullbar has done the exact same thing my headlight cracked it twice, still haven’t wired up the indicators either 😂

I ended up chopping my ironman bar last weekend. I wasn't risking it happening again ay 😭

@@jpcaptured799 the little corner piece on the bar went right up into the headlight and took a whole piece out and now silicone isn’t enough to fix it 🥲🥲keeps fucken fogging up

[@francobotha301]

Hey man. Love the vids. Quick question, does the throttle controller help with quicker shifts? I am REALLY annoyed with having to squeeze the throttle 10% if I want the bakkie (South African word for UTE) to change gears at 2K rpm. Cheers

[@jpcaptured799]

hey Franco, yeh man the auto transmission defiantly shifts differently with the change to throttle response and engine rpm. It's heaps better IMO.

[@francobotha301]

@@jpcaptured799 thanks mate

[@michaelcardillo441]

What intake air temps are you seeing with the CRG intercooler? I’ve got the same iron man bar and I’ve welded gussets to the L brackets that bolt up to the chassis… it’s much stronger and doesn’t bend now when winching..

[@jpcaptured799]

that's sounds like a good idea for the Ironman bullbar dude, I'll have to consider this for a future mod. I actually haven't checked the IAT's since installing, I'll plug in the scan tool and have a look.

[@michaelcardillo441]

I’m getting down to sub ambient with the factory intercooler (not under full load) I’ve rigged up a intercooler sprayer kit and it’s pulled 25_30 degrees out of IAT under full load up hill… (ive got a scan gauge 2 btw) can send through a vid if you want to see how it’s rigged @@jpcaptured799

Great review how much did you pay for your car brand new

Thanks mate, send me a DM on socials for more information 👍

[@TahjmaRahj]

Hey JP would you get another d23 if you had the chance again? I’m currently looking to buy one 2nd hand, any suggestions on what to look for when buying and do you think it’s a good investment thanks

[@jpcaptured799]

💯 would buy a D23 again without any hesitation, They are great value for money. I would suggest buying an auto model even if you are a fan of manual Transmissions.. not only are they a tough auto but they also help soak up a bit of "shock" on other parts of the drivetrain. Other than that I would just suggest checking the normal things on a used vehicle.
