Hi mate,

Now you can import 7 seater Nissan Elgrand in Australia.

You can contact import workshops in QLD or NSW and they will answer your questions or

you can check Nissan Elgrand Owners Club in Australia.

I think you can only imoport up to 2005 models....

Cheers.

The QLD govt have just recently closed the loophole of Elgrands being registered as a campervan so you cannot comply them in that state anymore. No doubt, other states will likely to follow as well. It's just a matter of time. And no, you cannot comply them as a people mover as they clash with the locally delivered Tarago's and other movers.

Yes they are complied as a campervan (3 seater actually) but really they're a people mover. Raws workshops would simply remove the seatbelt restraints and voila, it's a campervan. Hell they dont even need to remove the actual seats itself.

So if anyone is after an Elgrand, you better snap them up now as they will surely be removed from the SEVS list.

Damn, glad we got in and got ours when we did! They are an awesome vehicle and worth more than what they sell for. And they shit all over Tarago's. Want a diesel Tarago? Buy an imported Estima for way less than an Aussie delivered Tarago!

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
