NP300 CRG Hot Pipe Upgrade

In this #shedsessions video, I run through how to fix the dreaded hot pipe leak on your NP300 Navara. With heaps of talk about hot pipe leaks on the NP300 forums I thought it would be a good idea to get a replacement CRG pipe onto my Nav before it started leaking. Unfortunately, I was too late.. but i fixed it just in time to prevent things from getting any worse.

Time to replace the old Leaky Boi with a shiny new upgrade 😍 Enjoy the new video legends!

[@user-pm4wk2go6y]

Mate your a absolute legend for filming this appreciate the time and camera angles to optimise information for us viewers 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@bigbrodie4265]

Literally did this last week with the full crg Intercooler kit, using your other video for instruction, so wish this vid was out earlier 😂 Love the shed sessions, keep it up mate

[@jpcaptured799]

I'm sorry man! I hope the install went okay 👌👍

[@anthony-zd4yn]

hey mate in what order do you install? hot pipe, throttle body then intercooler im assuming ?

[@dale.p4817]

Was just about to book my nav into mechanic to have another factory one installed, but quickly decided to youtube how hard it is, and im glad i did now have a crg one ordered, cheers legend awesome video!

[@jpcaptured799]

That's awesome man 💪🏼 my crg replacement still has zero leaks and is working a charm 🤙🏼

[@SouthernHoax]

Fantastic description mate. Great video. Thanks.

[@DriftPig]

I did mine Last year with the CRG pipe, mine was leaking at 45000km(MY16), still an awesome video to watch

[@kenanschoon8585]

To answer your question in regards to a good set of bonnet struts, I’d highly recommend the nitro lift bonnet struts, I’ve had them in 2 of my car and they’ve been great

[@chuck478]

Mate just want to say thank you, I found this video randomly trying to find solutions with my egr cooler, saw this and was like wait a minute I did see oil back there yesterday- buying the new pipe now!

[@stevencarlisle3025]

Maaa8! Great video…just brought me a d23 st-x and looking to do some upgrades and your video shows me exactly how to do it start to finish!!! Cant wait….

[@dale.p4817]

Just installed it, thanks to your detailed how to video! Man you made it look easy, that bottom part was so hard to slip on sheesh! Cheers mate!

[@brad4wd]

Installed my new CRG hot pipe last weekend after finding my factory one was leaking oil. Instantly I can feel a lot more bottom end torque, now pulls from much lower in the revs. highly recommended upgrade.

[@jordymclennan3787]

Cheers legend mate your video's has helped me out heaps with my 2017 np300. Keep it up mate

[@jpcaptured799]

That's kills bro 👌 absolutely stoked to hear it 🍻

[@rabbit455]

Welcome back brother 🙌🏻🙌🏻 glad to see you back in making videos!!

[@joelramjass3604]

Hey mate i am doing 200k.. no leaks yet. Also i diverted my hose from the tappix pan cover that runs into the intake to prevent oily turbo, oily intake and oily intercooler... You can use the Man Hummel provent 250 oilcatch can.... Rigid industries light bar looks interesting... great vid and editing...cheers from the nex side of the globe🇹🇹

[@thomashaase5404]

Perfect timing mate my hot pipe started leaking last week

[@jpcaptured799]

Bingo!

[@henrymcclutchie5372]

This was good to watch I have a 2018 d23 np300 st-x I didn't know my nav had a turbo until after watching this video haha I'm in New Zealand its currently 12.36am 25th of Feb I just went outside to have a look and yes it has a hot pipe which means it's turbo lols and yes it has a leak so my mission is to look for a hot pipe cheers for that bro. Loving all of your installment videos xant wait until my nav is looking beast like yours.

[@agentdsmith]

Loving these instructional videos JP! You're a legend. 👍

[@jpcaptured799]

Cheers man 🍻

[@adamg6199]

My hot was leaking and oil all over the manifold, you could smell the oil heating up. Nissan came and got the car with a tilt tray and fixed it 40K klms later still good. Once out of warranty my NP300 will get full CRG set up.

[@chrismills8287]

Awesome video

[@jontait6923]

Nice a clear explanation mate. I will be checking mine, cheers

[@danielscales1201]

Trim your engine cover where it sits on your wiring harness it will eventually rub through the wires I seen into already cutting into yours. Great videos btw you helped me alot with my nav.

I used a mallet to bang the top one on and then removed the air intake so i could get my hand in thete better and wiggled it on pretty easily

[@Steves_ADV]

Great and informative video as usual mate! Super handy too since my hot pipe is pissing oil everywhere at the moment, I know what I'm doing soon lol.

[@jpcaptured799]

Cheers Steve 👍 mate I couldn't believe how much oil mine was pissing out 😬 it's all good now though.

Nitro Lift struts. Have them bonnet and boot on another car, recently put them on my '22 Pro 4X Warrior. Highly recommended, and well under $100

[@416Hubert]

Brilliant!

[@lifesabroad]

Worth speaking to Nissan before lashing out on the CRG. A known issue which would likely be covered under warranty (if applicable), apparently they have revised the hot pipe which is now fitted. Nevertheless, helpful for those who will be tackling this themselves.

[@jpcaptured799]

That's a really good point! Personally after asking around and doing some research it still seemed like the nissan replacement was hit and miss. I really just wanted to make sure it would never be an issue for me.

[@michaelpayne-bailey8274]

Navara part do a good bonnet strut assembly with great brackets

[@A-Trip-Away]

Nitro struts Ebay mate for the NP300. Aussie made too

[@juanmanuelvivas6299]

Great video. But I have a concern about the CRC hot pipe, I'm confident that it won't leak anymore because it has a great seal but it is not actually resolving the situation. The turbo shouldn't leak at all, from the turbo to the intercooler only should flow air, not oil. So you won't have leak on the base of the hotpipe but the oil will travel to the interncooler and it will sit in some please

[@nightrider1700]

You should try the throttle body pipe next!

[@jpcaptured799]

Stay tuned 😉

[@nightrider1700]

@@jpcaptured799 glad to see you back mate, keep up the awesome work!

[@tonyprior80]

Love your work mate, please keep it up. I have a new Pro4x Warrior and I will be fitting a new hot pipe thanks to your advice. I am also fitting a catch can, I bought a Western filters kit but was not happy with the way the hoses were routed, I messaged them with my concerns and they requested I send it back, they were great and have since modified both the bracket and the hoses. I have also recently had a dyno tune and it has really made a difference to the drivability and fuel economy, is your Nav tuned or stock?

[@jpcaptured799]

Thanks mate, mine is also about to be tuned, I'm keen to see the difference it makes. Especially because I may or may not be towing something soon 🤐

[@jt2819]

Rival bonnet struts

[@michaellanyon7320]

Hey JP great video, surprised to see you're not running a catch can yet. Any plans to install one?

[@lockie_builds]

One of the main reasons to not run one is manufacturers voiding warranties for a bunch of different reasons if you run one

[@jpcaptured799]

I have plans for installing a catch can purely to test the theory that nissan states causes rear main leaks. But it won't be for a few months yet.

[@shaungibbon5770]

Cheers, great video! Just wondering if you know anything about why oil is in that pipe anyway? Is it leaking from turbo oil seals or is this just oil collected from EGR system?

[@reggiebrown5400]

This is what I need, thx bro. How can I get my hands on this CRG Hot pipe, I'm in Namibia, Walvisbay Please assist

[@buschschweinbuschschwein9291]

Hi there JP, just a question, did you fit a catch can too ? As I can't see what keeps the oil away from the new plumbing when the pcv valve still dumps oil into the new pipes? Or am I wrong?

[@13cal13]

Where does the oil come from? Bad turbo seals or feedback from the crank vent?

[@brendancrook6765]

Jesus christ how the hell did you get the bottom pipe on. I've been at it for 3. Hours. It will not pop on. How did u do it so easy

[@iesous444]

Dudes like the top pipe is difficult then pops it in in 3 seconds. After an hour and resorting to a mallet I got the top one in now reading your comment and looking at how far the bottom one needs to come up to seat I am worried

[@iesous444]

What grease do you use? I could only find a castor bentone rubber grease? Is that suitable? Or can i just use motor oil to lube the rings?

[@scottwhyte9129]

So what's the difference from that to the factory item if you pull off a item with not very good connections and replace it with the Same style connections hows that any better and then just leak again.

[@jpcaptured799]

It's all about the internal seals, turbo side now has a double seal and the bottom seal is replaced too as I mentioned in the vid. The factory seals are the issue not so much the pipe, but the factory hot pipe does not have the seal provisions machined into it to upgrade them.

[@jethrohassem5547]

Where is the oil coming from that goes into the pipe?

[@alois.danielelias8831]

good day men, ask for a link where men can buy the seal, thank you

[@markwright6734]

Hey mate any reason you went CRG over other companies??

[@jpcaptured799]

Yes, mainly because I had already used the Crg intercooler kit which has been a great bit of gear. And they just have a really good name in the Industry for quality aftermarket components.

[@samsssamss4005]

Hi mate mine also has leak . just found today after seeing this vedio. Can i ask please a link to where i can buy that pipe. Thank you

Hi mate, you can find the product link in the video description.

Why on my car leaking diesel in same area back of the motor..from return line any suggestion

[@samscott93]

Hey mate I’ve changed my hot pipe over to the crg one now it seems to leak oil from the bottom of the pipe where it connects any tips on what I should do ??

[@Shilo-fc3xm]

Hey. Went and had a look at the CRG page for pricing. Im on 3 inch from the top of the snorkel through to the tail pipe (via aftermarket air box and DPS delete). Anyone got the diameter of the CRG hot pipe? Oddly, not even listed under specs fort the product on their page.

[@armu821]

who distributes those tubes greetings from Honduras

[@matthewdudarko3884]

Is this for the twin turbo? Cheers

[@kyle13587]

I’m having trouble fitting the hot pipe to the turbo. The o rings side down but it’s not clipping

[@jpcaptured799]

tilt the front of the pipe up a little bit and then hit the turbo end with the palm of your hand a few times and then have another crack at pushing it on ;-)

[@nandowzmhlongo]

Is there any available in South Africa?

[@jpcaptured799]

Please get in touch with CRG

[@daviddixon6422]

Is it easier to do all 3 together ie hot pipe, cold pipe and intercooler?

[@daviddixon6422]

No worries… did it all together yesterday 👌 worked like a charm 😊

Is that the same part for both RHD and LHD?

[@richardhartley7094]

Would they ship to UK👍

[@jpcaptured799]

I would suggest calling CRG ,☺️

[@declanhurley9260]

Is your car twin turbo

[@markfromaus3438]

Why don’t you just renew the seals on the hot pipe instead? Seems a huge wank to put something shiny on your nav. Fuck me, how much did that new hot pipe cost?

[@jpcaptured799]

Renew the seals every service or replace the problem all together for a few hundred dollars, I'll take the latter 💁

[@iesous444]

OEM pipe is faulty need an aftermarket one to fix it. It was around 400 dollars
