The 1220130W80 Z24 Crankshaft is a replacement crankshaft designed for Nissan vehicles using the Z24 engine, marketed for PATHFINDER and VANETTE applications. It is intended to restore proper crankshaft function during engine rebuilds or repairs.
This crankshaft is intended for Nissan vehicles equipped with the Z24 engine, commonly referenced for PATHFINDER and VANETTE models. Always verify fitment using your vehicle VIN, engine code, and the part number 1220130W80 before purchasing.
The product description does not explicitly state OEM or aftermarket status. It is described as a high-quality part designed to meet strict standards. Contact the seller or manufacturer to confirm whether it is OEM, OEM-equivalent, or aftermarket.
The listing describes the item as a crankshaft constructed for durability but does not specify the exact metallurgical composition. For details (forging, heat treatment, grade of steel), request material/specification data from the supplier.
Most crankshafts are sold as the shaft only and do not include main or rod bearings, seals, or bolts. Verify the specific listing or ask the seller to confirm what is included.
The description indicates a high-quality part but does not state whether it is new or remanufactured. Confirm condition (new vs. remanufactured) with the vendor prior to purchase.
It is common practice to have a crankshaft inspected, measured, and balanced by a machine shop before installation. Journals may require polishing or grinding to spec and the shaft should be checked for straightness and runout.
Installation requires mechanical skill, proper tools, and reference to the vehicle service manual for clearances and torque specs. If you are not experienced with engine assembly, have a qualified mechanic or engine rebuilder perform the installation.
Torque specs, bearing clearances, and assembly procedures are provided in the Nissan factory service manual for your specific model and year. Use those official values when installing the crankshaft.
Compare the part number 1220130W80 and the Z24 engine designation against your vehicle's VIN and engine code. You can also consult a dealer, parts department, or the seller to confirm compatibility.
A properly fitted and balanced crankshaft restores correct engine operation and reliability. It is not a performance upgrade by itself unless the crankshaft has been specifically modified or balanced for higher performance applications.
Inspect the crankshaft for visible damage, cracks, scoring, or improper machining. Check journals for proper finish and dimensions, verify keyways and threads, and request non-destructive testing (e.g., magnetic particle inspection) if concerned about hidden defects.
Warranty and return policies vary by seller. Check the product listing or contact the vendor/manufacturer for details on warranty length, coverage, and any return or core charge terms.
Some suppliers charge a core fee or require an exchange for remanufactured units. Ask the seller in advance whether a core charge or core return is required for this crankshaft.
Provide your VIN, engine code (Z24), and the part number 1220130W80 to the parts supplier or dealer. They can check OEM cross-reference databases and confirm compatible interchange numbers or alternate part options.
