Thought there would be a few more E52’s heavily outnumbered

2005 E51 S2 , just had it for a week. Has a broken fuel gauge (or is the fuel sender faulty) which shows me half tank when it's empty (ask me how I know :rolleyes:).
It's a 3.5L, lots of power but very very thirsty. I just had a cyl 5 misfire and it's a bit of a pain to get into the engine bay do do maintenance...
But it drives like a dream, the kids love it.

Yeah, I sent an email to Nissan Japan and they said it was up to local Nissan dealer if they would do it. Now my local Nissan dealer just told me it's up to Japan if they will cover the costs, cuz normally they don't cover JDM vehicles, only export vehicles......back to square1 pfff. I doubt it will get done by the dealer.
I removed all cats yesterday (took 2 days for a mechanic buddy of mine to remove them and put other pipes instead), paid $100 to remove, replace with pipes, and sold the cats for $300.

Hello Arvin,
Wow, I just had to look at a map to see where in South America you are. Are there many Elgrands in your parts or is it unusual?
 
Hi Lize, we have mostly imported JDM vehicles here. I have seen some Elgrands, not a lot though. I did see a newer model, E52, they're sweet but does look a little smaller....or were my eyes deceiving me... :D

I'm quite surprised by the JDM popularity, was expecting you to mostly have North American vehicles.
 
I won a set of S3 Highway Star projector headlights on a Japan auction website for $100 and a set of Highway Star fog lamps (which fit on my bumper) complete with steering column stock for $85.....
Can't wait to install em...
 
I've not seen an E52 yet but yes I think they look smaller as more estate car like but think not so dissimilar inside as lower floor. Like a Nissan Quest.

On the contrary, we have left hand traffic, so we need RHD cars which North America doesn't have. I do like me some classic American muscle but way out of my reach....
 
I never thought about you being RHD cars, only think of UK, Australia and Japan, that explains it.

It would be good if you could start a project thread, I'm sure members would be interested to see photos of your van in scenic locations.
 
E51s look popular. Picked up a 2006 HWS this week.
