I should probably have clarified in my post if anyone else is going to do this job. The sump needs to be removed or atleast dropped a fair way to take the bottom timing cover off (the oil pump). There’s two bolts holding the sump on that sits in the bell housing which is why you have to...

Thank you! Unfortunately most information out there is for d40s and not d22s so it would definitely be difficult without experience. In hindsight maybe I should’ve done a little video guide haha

Figured I might as well while I was doing work to it, it was only $50 or so. More preventative maintenance than anything. Thermostat was still good but swapped that too while I did the water pump.

True, I didn’t think of that. I was hoping having it still going trough the catch can that it wouldn’t be heaps of oil but it’s a valid point. My thought was to run it towards the back into the chassi rail so exhaust would be vented backwards. Most trucks up here still have vent straight to...

You might’ve already figured out the solution but if not the sump needs to be removed to get the oil pump (lower cover) off. It’s a pain as two of the bolts is in the flywheel housing so you have to move the transmission back to reach them. There is two bolts on the oil pump pick up that...

Thanks for the reply, I didn’t think it would screw anything up but figured I’d check if someone has done this before just in case. Even with a catch can it seem to push trough a lot of oil anyway. I will give it a go, did you run yours to the chassi ?

I currently have a catch can on my d22, 2.5 litre navara however I don’t find it that effective. Has anyone made a breather to atmosphere? I was thinking putting the breather to the catch can but then venting it to atmosphere instead and blocking the crankcase inlet to the turbo. I have heard...

Not sure if I posted this on the right part of the forum but thought I would share. My d22 ST-R 2.5 2012 model started making knocking noises when starting up cold (“cold” is relative as the lowest temp it drops here is around 20 but never heard the noise when starting it during the day) and...

After changing the rear brakes on my D22 and realising it’s a horrible set up I was wondering if it’s possible to do a conversion to disk brakes. Have tried to search around on the forum but seems to be mainly D40s. Seen people saying you can use parts from a pathfinder and make it work. Does...

Thanks for the reply, turns out the issue was from my break pedal stopper had broken and my car quite possibly under fuelling cause of the break pedal being “stuck on”.

*Fixed* Thought I’d write down my fix just in case some one else might have this issue. I thought the issue was weird as it was very sudden as if something had blown. I had noticed as well that the rubber grommet stopper for my break pedal had broken as my break lights were left on. I tested...

Thank you, I did the NPS test but it came out fine so I have ruled that one out.

Thank you, I’m currently pulling the turbo off to check it and see if the wastegate is working properly. It doesn’t really seem to be fuel only cause it’s not shuddering and it has clean revs. It happened after half the tank so I doubt it’s the problem but if the turbo is fine then it’s my next...

Hi there ! I’ve got a 2012 D22 ST-R 2.5. Drove it to work just fine and then driving home it was as if it had no boost at all. Could hardly climb over 80km/h, very slow climbing RPM and gets worse in higher gears. Checked MAF sensor, checked my intercooler and it seemed fine. Changed my boost...
