There are people movers, and then there is the Elgrand. For insiders, the Nissan Elgrand is much more than simply a van. Donning the nickname of ‘King of Minivans’, it’s a rolling testimony to all that is Japanese domestic market(JDM) comfort and refinement, even technology. It provides a level of luxury and road presence that no locally delivered car has to offer.
It’s no wonder the team at WA Auto Parts gets a little bit giddy when a great example of an Elgrand comes through our Perth yard. We get our owners’ fervor for these special vehicles and we are excited to offer something that doesn’t come along every day. We are currently wrecking a 2006 Nissan Elgrand E51 Highway Star in metallic grey.
For more than 15 years, WA Auto Parts has been serving Perth as leading one of the best used auto parts shop in town. We are able to service a wide variety of vehicles from Australian cars and European luxury vehicles, through to Korean workhorses and American trucks. But our long history with these imports means you can rely on us for Elgrand parts. Had enough to see that this Highway Star “type 2” is fairly typical of the good stuff we source and is, as yet unreclaimed by the wreckers, ready to donate its own unmodified high-spec bits to maintain, repair or upgrade* your *‘King of Minivans’.
The Story of the Donor Van: A Rough Diamond

- Year: 2006
- Colour: Metallic Grey (Sparkling Silver WV2)

It is essential that all prospective buyers of any parts are aware of the story behind why this Elgrand is being wrecked. A significant internal failure of its transmission has rendered this vehicle useless as it is not repairable and cannot be back on the road anymore. Our professional assessment group viewed it as the perfect solution to maximize this possibility. Since the automatic transmission is at fault, the most sought-after valuable parts on the vehicle are in excellent condition.
The classic VQ35DE powerplant is running like a clock. There is no dents or damage on the straight body and is full highway start with fixed bodykit. The rich, tech-heavy interior is in flawless condition. We ran the motor up before we began to take it apart. The 3.5L V6 roared to life and then settled in to that whisper-quiet, butter-smooth idle your LS is known for. I’m not talking about a written off, crash damaged vehicle here; I’m discussing an accident-free Elgrand that was 100% mechanically sound and in close to immaculate condition which let its owner down when it came to the transmission – this situation offered other owners a window of opportunity.
Spotlight on High-Demand Elgrand Parts
That’s where the money is. There is so much high-end items, parts that people wish they could have all the time on their hand, and this E51 Highway Star has them all.
VQ35DE: Being Smoother Yet More Powerful and Reliable
The Nissan VQ35DE is a popular engine, and it’s known for smooth power delivery and great reliability. It’s something of an engineering gem, used in everything from the 350Z sports car to luxury sedans. This is one of the best low k examples with only 112,400 km. It sounds the business, and is ready to drop straight into your Elgrand (r). We do have the full engine available, and all tested accesssories including Alternator, starter motor, power steering pump and AC compressor.
Highway Star Bodykit & Exterior
The Highway Star is distinguished by its sleek, factory-fitted bodykit. Now’s your opportunity to get that winter project going, base model Elgrand or replace a set of damaged bits for your own Highway Star with genuine product that won’t have fitment/finish dramas. We have:
- The distinct Highway Star Front Bumper as well as the chrome grille.
- The coordinating Side Skirts and Rear Spoiler.
- The clear-lensed Series 2 Taillights.
- Pair of Headlights in perfect non faded condition.
- The whole Bonnet and two front guards.
The Unrivalled Luxury Interior
The cabin of the Elgrand is its most attractive feature. This Highway Star model features:
- Black Leather Captain’s Chairs: The complete set of captain’s chairs and the very hard to find middle-row swivel / recline chairs. They are in fantastic condition.
- Power Sliding Door(s): Both power sliding doors work perfectly up and down to every time. This area is prone to fail on Elgrands and our tested units are a dependable replacement.
