Nissan Elgrand 2018 HWS 3.7 V6 Highly Modified 5Door

0 Previous Owners, This is our own show winning Nissan Elgrand Imported in 2018 and has been mainly on display in our showroom This started off as a normal 240hp 3.5 V6 But with a VQ35DE Engine MPV, However its original Japanese owner wasnt happy with this, So decided to transform this into what it is today . A BEAST ! The vehicle was shipped to Garage Saurus in Japan who are known for producing some of the quickest GTR vehicles on the planet. The Tuner and Owner Mr HayashiSan is well known for his crazy builds, So he was excited to take on this project, the only stipulation was it still had to look pretty stock. The engine was changed for a brand new crated V135HR from a Nissan 350 GT Skyline, This increased the HP to 310bhp which most would think was enough, but this was just the beginning of the build. The motor was fully forges and over bored for larger pistons increasing displacement. Cams were fitted with high RPM valve train; This increased the horsepower to 360BHP. Again most people would be more than happy with the power increase , but they were not finished. Upgraded R35 Coilpacks fitted A HKS GT Twin supercharger was fitted providing 1 bar of boost pressure, this increased the power to a massive 510BHP at the rear wheels !!! Still not satisfied a futher increase was added in the form of a massive 2.5ltr direct NOS injection kit was fitted !!! This had the ability to take power up to a 660BHP being delivered to the rear wheels of an 8 Seater people carrier At the same time the gearbox was upgraded to handle the extra power by Garage Saurus's magic Now with all this power stopping a 2Ton people mover became a bit of a challenge Garage Saurus designed their own 6 pot race calipers based on the Endless braking system, These are bigger consisting of a two piece rotor design and race brake pads. For the rear they opted for a 4 pot version also with race pads 19" Lightweight Rays racing alloys were also fitted and wrapped in performance tyres. The rear diff was an upgraded item taken from the R35 GTR, under body roll bars and strut braces were custom made. Coilovers were fitted to keep the wheels in contact with the ground and the vehicle was set up for Drag Racing The finishing touch was a custom 6 branch tubular manifold was designed to maximise torque and this flowed into a custom stainless steel 3" exhaust system, decatted. A Greddy Blow off Valve was fitted along side an array of custom oil coolers and intercoolers In keeping with the owners requirements the body was left pretty much standard apart from a Custom Nismo front bumper, which allowed the multiple coolers to keep the monster of an engine cool. Inside is pretty much standard apart from an upgraded steering wheel and enough dials to impress any Star Trek fans out there. The owner parted with £50k on this build ! and raced it twice at a Tokyo drag strip , where it won all its heats. The vehicle was kept for several years by the owner, when it came time to sell this incredible vehicle the Elgrand was auctioned at USS Tokyo, Where we were lucky enough to win it ! We were very excited but then disaster struck, Japan was kit with a quake and we were informed that the yard where the vehicle was parked awaiting shipping had been hit and lots of cars had been damaged . We were very disappointed and struggled to get any info , then a week later we got the call that the Elgrand was safe and sound, It turned out that the delivery driver realised the port was going to be hit so took the vehicle to his home which was not affected , as you can imagine we were so happy and obviously rewarded the driver for his fast thinking and also honesty . Weve owned this for a long time now, and although it provides a great platform for advertising our company the time has come to pass the custodian onto a new enthusiast. This one of a kind E51 Elgrand is now available for sale.
