Hi everyone, I got a 19 plate NP300 hired for 3 years and the pipe had been replaced under warranty. i.e the newest generations are still affected by this issue.
I eventually bought a 16 plate that is pristine but same problem.
Can we manage sourcing the seals? I've seen posts but not where to get them from
Many thanks

Having investigated, my understanding is that either replacing the whole pipe or only the seal will unfortunately not last. Better spending a few more quid to get it definitely sorted.
See this Youtube video showing an upgrade with CRG hot pipe

What do you think?

I'll find out the price of the genuine pipe. Regarding this replacement one, I requested a quotation as well. There is another alternative

Funny enough they are down the road from CRG, next to Brisbane.

I contacted them both and they came back straight on. Gosh, these guys are on the hedge of their business

Still no solution from Nissan and it's confirmed that there have been no evolution from scratch. Obviously the part is available as they sell quite a few

Autodoc in Germany are selling spécific seals for turbo pipes. They cost around 2 or 3 € depending on the size.

The point is to have the exact dimensions. I went to the dealer I know to try getting a faulty pipe and investigate without having my pickup off the road but they send them back to warranty the vast majority of the time.

For a bit less than 150€, I took the genuine option for now. Whilst the faulty one will be on the bench, I'll try to source the seals as I fear it might not be fixed for ever. Nissan changed the part number, so I do hope that there is an improvement.
