Elgrand

Thinking of buying an elgrand from a dealer. Love the styling and comfort. I will be removing all the rear seats to use it as a 2 seater occasional weekend camper (bed and storage only no cooking, sink) for road trips and music festivals. Will be my daily drive too.  Are there any pitfalls i should know about eg parts, servicing, reliability, fuel efficiency, life expextency for engine etc. 98% of the time i will be the only occupant. I live in regional  nsw and do very little city driving. Looked at vw caddy, Citroën, renault, hyundai iload, toyota hiace but feel like work vehicles.  Elgrand seems to fit same pricepoint.

I love Elgrands. I'd be worried about how low they are being a camper from regional NSW. 

I don't know squat about them though you could ask in the General Discussion area to get more attention.

We have one. It's awesome but the Autech is VERY low. Comfy, fuel is 12 on the highway, 15 in town fully loaded.

 

Make sure you get one that is registered as a 7 seater, if not allow $1000 to convert from camper and you will want cruise control which is another $800.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.

      What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
