Nissan Elgrand Australia

Nissan Elgrand Australia

The Nissan Elgrand is a large people mover designed for the Japanese domestic market (JDM). While the Elgrand has never been sold new in Australia, used examples of all three generations have found their way Down Under as one of the most popular grey imports.

The first generation E50 was produced from 1997-2002, the second-generation E51 from 2002-2010 and the third-generation E52 from 2010. It’s been produced with a variety of seating configurations, with a range of four-cylinder and V6 petrol and diesel engines, in either two or all-wheel drive.

Nissan Elgrand FAQs

Finding replacement door and panel for 2016 Nissan Elgrand

Because the Elgrand was not officially imported into Australia by Nissan, parts can be a bit difficult to obtain. Mechanical bits are not such a problem as the Elgrand used mostly Nissan Maxima or Altima mechanical parts. But body panels and trim pieces can be more difficult to obtain.

That said, there are specialist parts recyclers that deal in these vehicles. A quick internet search might turn up what you’re after or at least give you a few clues on where to look next. The companies that import these vehicles for sale here also sometimes import spares parts as well, so they’d be worth a call, too. While not terribly thick on the ground here, the Elgrand is popular enough that there will be a part supply industry that has built up around it.
