This is great! I’ve been umming and ahhing about buying an Elgrand. Here in the UK the imports are incredibly cheap and very low mileage. But I’ve been worried about taking it off road. You have a sorted my worries out. Thanks.
I have one of these with lowered Nismo suspension and I use it in my business. Its a lovely vehicle to drive. I'm looking for another to do something like this that I can take away on the weekend and camp in and take on the beach.
Thanks for putting Elgrand out there... it would be amazing to know more about what bolts on across from proper 4x4s. And you gents didn't even show the interior amenities or accessories. So I very much look forward to a follow-up :)
I know im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Caiden Roberto Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Caiden Roberto WTF IT REALLY WORKED :O I literally hacked my IG account within about 45 minutes by using the site. I had to pay 15$ but for sure worth the money =) Thank you so much you really help me out !
More and more Japanese import are coming to OZ since collapse of OZ car manufacturing. Vehicle sold in Japan are more luxury and comfortable. No wonder Jason went for that model! But I prefer old vehicle without electronics as I feel they are more complicated and more wiring makes engine room look messy and confusing. Because I am snob, so I go for classic land rover!
#Seriously series Sorry I might have missed this point. Did Jason (or his suppliers)convert a 2wd to 4wd? I have an E51 2002 build with only 135000km. Have bought a Rodeo 3l turbo diesel and enjoying the ute features. It has relatively fixed fibreglass canopy with roof racks braced to floor, which I was thinking to change to a steel or aluminium canopy with kitchen fitouut and bed on top. But I have seen very nice Van fitouts in Elgrand- and it is hard to part with the Elgrand- on account of its superb comfort and 7 seater versatility (including an electric turnout seat that is great for helping people with limited mobility get in and out with dignity. Thinking to keep the Elgrand in the family. One son has a penchant for crossing creeks etc, but like Jason, I am more interested in being conservative and 50mm lift is plenty of clearance if you aren't hopping rocks or driving through mud. I drove LandCruiser ute a lot in Sahara and rarely used 4wd mode as keeping speed up is mostly effective, with 4wd in reserve.
Nice van you have there Jase. I have a Pajero, mine’s white over silver, and I’ve been thinking of going to an awd van, similar to this, so I could have more “living on the road” room. How would the kilometers per gallon compare to a 4cyl turbo diesel Pajero, considering the Pajero is a fairly heavy vehicle also? Cheers.
Living on the road is a nice way to go. Occurring to Jason the Elgrand gets around 15 liters per 100km so I would say you would probably get better overall fuel economy in your Pajero. Thanks for the comment, cheers Geoff
I did this upgrade, it's great to have good clearance now, but Did you find that suspension now is stiff and has very little to no room of travel, so as in you go over a speed hump the thumb sounds vibrate up into the dashboard. Was that your experience?
Justin Leef Springs and struts in the front I think are pathfinder (sourced through pedders), tyres are 225/65/17 Yokohama Geolander all terrain with no rubbing what so ever
What's the maximum loading capacity for the roof? I'm wanting to convert to a camper and install roof racks and a roof top tent however can only find suited roof racks for 50kgs and under
Y62 patrol springs for the rear, would that be raised Y62 springs or standard Y62 springs? And brand, King spring? and what model pathfinder front struts/springs fit the elgrand?
R200 rear diff and 31 spline axles the same amount and size of splines to a GTR rear end. R50 front diff with 31 splines and R51/D40 trans and transfer case so it's over engineered to the max.
Brilliant vehicles - I have a 2004 E51 in the UK! Best car I ever had and I'm an old man now who has had many vehicles, including several 4x4's.

Hi there. Jason is currently working on his next Elgrand project and when it is complete we will be sure to do a follow up video.

Hi Kevin. Jason and I have been talking about a follow up video and we will be sure to cover the details you mentioned
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia I am also looking forward to the follow-up video. There's really not much information about lifted Ellies on the web.
seems to be quite a few sources for coilovers for these, I want to drop mine 50mm, don't intend to off road even though it's a 4x4

Hi Geoff. They come standard from the factory as four wheel drive, though you can not select low range. Can’t go wrong with proper Rodeo. Cheers Geoff

Go for a delicia. That thing is crap m8
Can you give us full specs of parts
Used to raise this van
What is like on fuel economy
I did this upgrade, it's great to have good clearance now, but Did you find that suspension now is stiff and has very little to no room of travel, so as in you go over a speed hump the thumb sounds vibrate up into the dashboard. Was that your experience?
Could you please state the tyre size you went for? Thanks
What model are the struts and springs? and are the tyres 225/65R17?? do they rub anywhere?
Justin Leef Springs and struts in the front I think are pathfinder (sourced through pedders), tyres are 225/65/17 Yokohama Geolander all terrain with no rubbing what so ever
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia could you fit 235/80R17 on 17" rims with the 50mm lift and still have no rub?
Hi is there a follow up video to this im looking to raise my elgrand here in the UK and I'm looking for a little bit more info on rear set up cheers
Hi Billy. Jason is in the process of upgrading a brand new Elgrand van at the moment so I will keep you posted. Cheers Geoff
Hi I’m about to buy an Elgrand. I live in London. Would you mind DMing me to let me know where you had your Elgrand modified? Thanks.
@@cityzenkane108 do you mean London in Australia?
Do you know which roof rack this has? Thanks!!
Jason went for a Yakima roof rack
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Thanks for taking the time to respond. I have the exact same E51, silver, looks identical!
@@stephenfranks7835 No worries. they are a very impressive piece of kit. Good luck with your adventures
What's the maximum loading capacity for the roof? I'm wanting to convert to a camper and install roof racks and a roof top tent however can only find suited roof racks for 50kgs and under
Depending on the weight of a the roof rack to begin with? This will dedicate how much you can carry on your roof. Cheers Geoff
How does she go on soft Perth beaches?
Hi Chan. It goes really well plenty of traction and power, Cheers Geoff
Y62 patrol springs for the rear, would that be raised Y62 springs or standard Y62 springs? And brand, King spring?
and what model pathfinder front struts/springs fit the elgrand?
Hi Reece, did you get a response on this? Cheers mate
You can buy off the shelf Cobra Springs for a E51. Raised and heavy duty.
Can we buy a new elgrand van in Melbourne. Interested to use for camping. I think it’s seats fold flat to make a bed
You can buy them new second ones in Melbourne and yes the back seat do work as a good bed
768uyyhtgbvfr dcx- Oh sorry - i fell asleep, head hit keyboard !
Hope you didn't hit to hard
224kw??? LOL NEVER! GTR driveline?!?!?!? LOL
R200 rear diff and 31 spline axles the same amount and size of splines to a GTR rear end. R50 front diff with 31 splines and R51/D40 trans and transfer case so it's over engineered to the max.
It seems to be a great car for a great price. If only it wasn't that ugly :(
