Nissan ELGRAND who has one?

[Oslec_car]

Hi Dvldoc,

I'm reading all your post in Tsikot for a week now and I've learned a lot to maintain my Elgrand in good condition. I don't have any of the modifications you have suggested yet but i'll install it one by one though I'm not a mechanic. I can't even change the engine oil myself. Anyone can suggest a place or person to install it for me? Thanks for your helpful threads.

Hi guys,

got my elgrand fixed by goodyear yesterday. aircon now is good as new. replaced rear aircon blower. replaced alternator and battery and put lock/bracket for battery. unstable idling has now been fixed and battery indicator blinking issue as well. The only one left is the hard starting. Is still under observation. Will check later if it's still hard to start the engine after replacing the glow plugs.

Hi cacashi, i saw your post regarding the rear aircon problem in Nissan elgrand thread. I just wanna ask how much did it cost to replace the rear aircon blower. I'm also having trouble with my rear aircon as it doesn't blowing air anymore but i noticed that there are still cold air going out of the vents so i think its also a blower issue. Can i also ask where did you bring your elgrand? in which goodyear branch?

Anyone in the thread has the same rear aircon issue? please advise as i want my rear aircon to be fixed. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi guys,

Saan ba makakabili ng Nissan el Grand? I'm from Marikina at parang kursunada ko dating nito. I believe puro Subic and mga ito na converted to LHD? Tsaka ano ba ang pinakabagong model nito at paano malalaman? tsaka 5 speed AT ba ito? Hindi ba ito mausok? TnX...

Hi from England

Sorry for barging in but this is the best forum on the net. I have a problem with my van. There aren't many Elgrands in England so getting them serviced or fixed is a real problem.

I've got a 3.0 NEO E50 and it's lacking power when going up hill. I've cleaned out the MAF, all the pipes to the turbo (can't find any leaks with my fingers) air filter, changed the oil etc. I've got some diagnostic software and a 14 pin plug but I can't get it to connect with the car. Nissan Consult, ECU talk etc.

Oil catch? Not done. Turbo boost controller? Not done.

So without spending lots of cash, I want to get it fixed. And if I knew what the problem was, I could fix it.

Dvldoc, i've tried to connect to you on facebook but so far, no joy. So that's where I am. Can you guys point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks
Did

Dvldoc I have an e50 3.2td automatic and was wondering on what clutch kit to buy for it as a replacement as I am not sure of the type of clutch of the dimensions or how many teeth/splines they have and can't find nothing on google. Is there any other vehicles in the uk that have the same part/dimensions to make my life easier to get part for her as parts are hard to find in the UK with it being classed as a grey import over here. Any help you could give on some what universal parts would be a big help thanks in advance. Regards voov

I was able to set the mirrors on my elgrand qd32eti. First, set the left mirror to desired angle by using the power controls. Next, have a friend to hold and keep the left mirror in place, then set the right mirror to desired angle. Done.

Hi,
Guessing that needs resetting everytime you use the fold in feature of the mirrors? (I need to do that often due to tight parking spaces in Manila)
Is it possible to adjust the clocking on the mirrors permanently? IE rotate the mirrors on the shaft a bit?

09364526374-Angel. Dau, Mabalacat. He rebuilt my Elgrand after I made a stup1d mistake of forgetting to replace the radiator cap .

My Elgrand is purring like a cat now when idling and makes heads turn in nlex (especially the traffic guys) when I hit 150 because I forget to look at the tach and not let it hit 3k rpm...

Hi guys anyone knows where I can get elgrand parts like master cylinder and door lock? TIA

[nochemd]

I'm new to this thread. I plan to get an elgrand but the unit I saw has a qd32 motor which vibrates. I hope I'm right that it is the engine support. where can i buy engine supports for the nissan elgrand 1997-1999 ? What other vehicles share the same engine support ? For the masters, am I right to think that the vibrations are due to the poor/old engine supports ?

Thanks

Hi Guys!

Its been years since my last post to this thread..

For years I've been having the same problem with "Exclusivo" where my ellie shuts down RANDOMLY but works fine after starting it again.
Usually the engine shuts off when you accelerate from complete stop. The moment you step on the gas the engine stalls and shuts off. This also happens sometimes while moving (40-60 kph) when I let go of the pedal and steps on it again it shuts off. Also happens sometimes at high speeds (80kph up). This problem normally happens once or twice on a 5 hr ride to manila and and more often on a stop and go traffic.

I've tried numerous shops to fix the problem to no avail..
Central Diesel after OB scan said its an electrical problem.. but cant identify which.
Zexel Diesel said injection pump needs calibration but engine runs fine w/o smoke so I doubt it.
Local mechanic changed fuel pump and filter, cleaned MAF and checked for hose leaks and still the same.

So I just lived with the problem, besides I just need to restart the engine and it will run fine until next shut down..
But now it the problem is occurring more often and I'm trying to fix it again.

Hopefully I can get some help from you guys. I'll also update you if I ever fixed the problem.

Hi dvldoc!


After much testing and driving, it seems the advice worked! The engine does not shut down anymore while driving with aircon on. It does shut down, however, during fresh engine start in which we have to wait for a while until the engine heats up. We normally push the "HEATER" button initially and aircon is OFF during the first gear change. Also, we noticed that the Aircon is much colder now compared before. I guess with all the procedure we did, it took a while for the result to kick-in.

All that is left for us to do is to change the Airflow Filter with the mushroom type air filter attached to an elbow tube. (saw this on the thread) Problem is we cant find the adaptor. We also did the 2T oil advice and it did generated a favorable result.

Anyways, our deepest gratitude and thank you so much for your help.

Sir. I don't know if this will help you. I was reading the forums in the elgrand club of australia and UK and one of the members had the same problem. If I'm not mistaken, he aslo had scanning done and he went to different mechanics. He was able to trace the problem on his own by checking the relays. He stated that due to the age of the e50, sometimes the relay of the injector(?) / glow plugs(?) get stuck. So what he did was to replace this and everything returned to normal.
