We believe that every car has a story, waautoparts.com. Some are stories about daily commutes and school runs. Others are epic ventures written in mud and red dust. And some, including the bright blue 2012 Nissan Navara D40 that just came through our yard here in Perth, are at the end of their road as a whole vehicle but about to start anew as parts one by one.
For more than 15 years, we have been the reliable heart of auto recycling in Perth! We are not merely wreckers, we are automobile custodians. We know you can get the heartbeat of life left in each one, and we make it our goal to connect all of them with people like you who need a replacement used auto part. If you’re a DIYer doing your own job on the weekend, a service person whose customer needs to keep just one car going or a bloke off in his 4WD that doesn’t anything but exact replacements then we’ve got what you need!
But today, we’ve got a good deep dive on this car for you. This is no mere parts list, it’s a journey to aids success for all Navara owners in Perth and beyond.
Introducing Our Newest Arrival: The 2012 Nissan Navara D40
The Nissan Navara is an important vehicle in the Australian automotive scene. It’s the classic ute – a reliable workhorse during the week and a tough stallion on family outings through the weekend. This one, a D40 from 2012, is representative of that generation — famed for its mix of ruggedness and refinement.
This particular car came to us as a stat write off, a tale we hear all too often. But if a front-end bash means it can’t be registered again for road use, it also means the vast majority of its parts — from the strong engine to manicured interior — are otherwise preserved and up for grabs.
So let’s look under the hood at the specs, since as any good mechanic will tell you: The devil is in them.
- Make: Nissan
- Model: Navara D40 (Thai-Built)
- Year: 2012
- Colour: A stunning, deep Blue
- Engine: YD25DDTi 2.5L Turbo Diesel
- Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
- Drivetrain: 4×4
- Odometer: 185,000 km
185,000 km on a well cared-for YD25 diesel is just about run in. It’s a tip of the hat to its time on open WA roads and it says there’s plenty of value stored inside its mechanical bosom. Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and look what we have access to.
The Beast Within: Motor and Drive-Line Components
The YD25DDTi engine is a mythical beast as far Nissan owners are concerned. It has a reputation for being torquey and reliable, as well as popular among car builders, so it’s often chosen in favor of large 4x4s for replacements, or even conversions into other cars. At WA Auto Parts we perform a meticulous series of checks before removing any engine.
The engine of this Navara fired up on the button and ran sweetly with no cause for concern regarding any odd sounds, smoke or drips. We were able to test it extensively which is why we can comfortably believe and stand behind its quality.
Available Engine & Mechanical Parts:
YD25DDTi Complete Engine (prize) A low kilometre 185,000kms runner engine is ideal for anyone whose Navara has experienced a catastrophic engine failure. It’s an inexpensive way to get your ute back on the road without terrible expense of a brand-new crate motor.
Turbocharger: The turbo spun up nicely when we tested it, no major shaft play. If your Navara has lost that get up and go feel or a haze of smoke follows you, consider a good second hand turbo can bring back the performance your missing.
Ancillaries:All ancillaries including the bep solution.The lot has been tested and all are confirmed working. That means up to and including the alternator, starter motor, power steering pump and the AC compressor – that was blowing cold until the very end.
Cooling: Both radiator and intercooler (still needed for all that turbo power) are mint as well and ready to go in.
When you purchase a mechanical component from us, not only are you purchasing that part, but peace of mind. You are purchasing a component that has been professionally inspected and signed off on by our experienced lineup. Do not delay in calling us on (08) 9358 1392 to talk about your engine requirements.
Laying some Power: Drivetrain and Suspension
A Navara is only as good as how well it can handle tough going, and that ability starts with the drivetrain. This particular example has the desirable 6-speed manual transmission and sturdy part-time 4×4 combo.
6-Speed Manual Transmission & Transfer Case: The transmission transitioned smoothly through its gears and the clutch also felt stout. The TC selected nicely 2H, 4H and 4L Today is the day to scoop up for all those who have blown away their gearbox and want to go from automatic.
Diffs (Both front and rear): Just as important, so are in great condition on the 4WD model. Whether you’ve bashed up your set on a gnarly off-road trail or just need a particular ratio we have you taken care of.
Tailshafts and Axles: As with all things in the power department these links (and that’s what they are) need to be straight for the components of power to reach their destination true so good U-joints and CVs are a must.
Suspension Parts: Although the impact did damage the front-left suspension, you can still use these other parts to include control arms, shocks and leaf springs. Ideal for replacing old worn out components and getting your ute back to factory rake and handling.
You Only Get a Few Chances to Make a First Impression: Panels, Body & Exterior
The stunning stickers embedded into the paintwork still retain a deep lustre on this Navara. Though the front is destroyed, the rest of the body has a plethora of nice panels for anyone who needs to repair some cosmetics on their own car. If you’ve ever picked up a part with the exact same colour as your tractor and thought it was some kind of miracle, you’ll know what I mean.
Doors: The front right-side door, rear right side door, and left-rear door are all looking good with full glass and window regulators/switches.
Body / Tub: The tub is straight and has had very light use. It’s the perfect replacement if your tray is damaged or rusted through. The tailgate also is in great shape and works excellent; opening and closing tight.
Side Steps & Mirrors: Factory side steps are clean Power adjustable These are usually the first to go when squeezing into a car park or narrow bush track.
The Command Centre: Inside Look
Climbing into this Navara you feel as though you have stepped back in time when it was someone pride and joy. The inside is spotless and looks barely used- a testament to how well maintained the previous owner was.
Seats: Cloth front buckets and rear bench are all rip free, and there is no major staining. Little wear on the drivers bolster again amazing for its age and kms.
Dash & Console: The whole dash assy is for sale. It’s uncracked and in fantastic shape. The dashboard including all gauges are fully operational and the 185,000 km is easy to see! All that cupholders and storage on the centre console is in perfect condition, too.
Steering Wheel & Column : Steering wheel with air bag prepared to be installed. We’ve also got every switch; headlight stalks, wiper switches, window switch clusters.
Radio/Head Unit: The stock radio/cd player is in good working order, and is perfect for a defective unit, due to being completely Plug-N-Play.
