Nissan ELGRAND who has one?

**dvldoc** · December 28th, 2012 10:22 AM

No problem, that's what I do.

I am looking forward to getting back to my van soon as well. Got some new stuff to install and plan on getting a downpipe done since I am maxed out on 23psi of boost,

I also have a full diagram of the soft close system on this page.

Does anyone know what this light is. It's for the 4wd system. One member is trying to figure it out and I have no clue since I don't have a 4wd Elgrand. The all mode is in the 2wd position but the light is on.

I read the post on facebook but my guess is as good as yours. My van is a 4x4 but no clue of what is happening. Sorry

Looking at doing a Elgrand club day event at Berrima Diesel in the first few weeks of March. I will post details once I hear back from Berrima diesel. Trying to set up a discount for 2 dyno pulls so you can see where your van is on power.. I will also have manual boost controllers with me in-case anyone wants a little bit more power for their Elgrand. The QD32eti is really happy at 15psi vs the stock 12 and you will get a much faster spool with the boost controller.

I will also be able to scan your vehicle via laptop and the ECUtalk software this can save lots on mechanical work with guessing what's causing a problem, I can also read and clear and codes, check to see if your MAF is functioning properly and log the data and email it to you as well. (FREE OF CHARGE!)

As well as Gates and Goodyear ALT, Power steering and AC belts for both the ZD30 and QD32eti.

Cheap China made belts or old factory ones can leave your stranded. Don't let this happen to you.

Hey Doc!

Happy New Year! however late though... it's almost february...

I will be looking forward to this..i really want to know if my MAF is ok.... i posted a message actually if i can get one from you.. even if i dont know if my MAF is still fine... cause i just read somewhere that MAFs should be replaced...

Would also like to have that boost controller... i hope its not expensive though

**dvldoc** · January 27th, 2013 02:59 AM

Nope not expensive at all, some charge 5000p to 9800p for a simple manual boost controller Elgrand club members get a nice discount so it's only 1500p.
For your MAF you would have to pre-pay for it via paypal or western union paypal is a much better option. And let me know if it is a ZD30 or QD32. Send me a PM Never buy a surplus MAF with these engines you never know if they work right or not.

The QD32ETI MAF will be 5000P which is 10000p cheaper than the dealership/casa
The ZD30 MAF is only 5000P 10000 to 12000p cheaper than the dealership

These are NEW.

Good day to everyone !

My Name is Ruediger,
i am a german and my wife comes from the philippines, i come now for over 20 years to the philippines and i love it to be here.
Now im retired and we live begining with this year 3 months in the philippines (near Cabantuan-Gapan, Nueva Ecija) and 9 months in germany and spain.
My sick body (rheumatismus) love the warm and constant climate here and i love the country and the people.

*dvldoc
Great Thread, i read for hours and not ready until now ;-)
Lots of important information, thank you so much fot that !

Next week wie arrive in the philippines and we buy a other car, our good old Litace have to be replaced with a comfortable one because i can not drive it anymore, power steering and auto tranny is needed because i am handicapped.

The Elgrand is one of my favorite, i love the powerful bodyshape, the comfortabel interieur and what i read in this thread is what i want to hear about this van ;-)

I know now which spare parts i can use from other nissan models for breakes etc..

So my question is,
what is with parts like e.g. a switch for the signal lights or the main lights.......where i can find this parts because the Elgrand was never sold local ?
Can i order this parts when i have the parts number at my nissan dealer and how to find the parts number, is it maybe printed on the part ?
I think there are not so many second hand parts on the local market, is there a special company in the philippines that deals with ?

This is the only problem between me and my Elgrand, where to buy parts like that.

I hope you understud my english because it is not so good i think.

Thanks for reading.

There are plenty of spares availible for the Elgrand. I got a replacment fender for like 800p when mine got hit and front turn signal assembly for 1200p. I have most part numbers listed on my facebook page for the elgrand. Most things can be had locally, others can be had from the US, or Japan and also simply repaired locally.

Not to much goes wrong on the Elgrand due to the high build quality compared to a local vehicle. Mine is 14 years old and the only thing that has gone out is the cigarette lighter outlet from using a air compressor. So I am just replacing that this trip. Everything still works like new. Stay away from the ZD30 engines if you want low maintenance cost.

**RIPmyBrother** · February 10th, 2013 07:44 PM

Thank you Doc !

And where i can find parts, where is the best location, angeles, subic or ?
This is my problem, the local surplus parts dealer have nothing for the elgrand, i sent in the last days my brother in law to look around.
Where did you find the parts for your front bump ?
Would be so nice when you can give me more detailed information.

Kind Regards
Ruediger
