The other day in a mag I saw this car...The Toycar BLIT (2002/2007),It looks like toyota went bored of the caldina,so they atrt looking to real wagons (eg.Wgnc34 /nm35)so the got somebody with a chemistry toy set and asked him to mix a:

C34: 35% ..........2.5Lt.turbo(straight six),separated high beams

M35: 40% ..........roundish shape ,rear lights

legnum: 10% ...........smaller size

Saab: 5% ...........ugly grill

caldina: 10% ...........crap interior

Blit 100%

2.5 iR-VWagonFRATGasoline24911JZ-GTEGH-JZX110W-AWPVZ2.5 iR-SfourWagon4WDATGasoline24911JZ-GETA-JZX115W-AWPSF2.5 iR-SWagonFRATGasoline24911JZ-FSETA-JZX110W-AWASH

and to be prius friendly :laugh: they even have a 2.0 lt.(n/a)4WD option.. :) ...try to accelerate in a 1620 Kg wagon like that...

Yes,you now have another option (BTW rear side looks like somebody added something to a sedan, like the ugly Sangyong 4x4)

So...you want a wagon...you want performace...BUY A STAGEA... :)

Don't knock 'em too soon, fellas: they come with a 1jzGTE: far superior to both the RB25 and VQ25 in potential, and I believe the chassis is very closely related to the JZX110 Chaser: they will handle extremely well too...

yeah you know, i think that could even look good. some nice big wheels, low profile tyre... a bit of chrome and in black... Different rear bar for sure!

it has potential.

It doesn't take much for Toyota to build a superior car when there engines don't have half of the problems that Nissan does. Like yer ok I do drive a Nissan but I've still got a 1974 rt104 in my shed that's twice as reliable as my stag

Hmmmm. Yes. All my Nissans have been very reliable. My first RMR30 bought new did 600ks no troubles. I still have two R30s, 400 & 300 ks all good if a little rough round the edges.

I must confess that I like the Crown WNG. Very C34 but it does not have the stupid half opening rear windows.

The later Crown Wagon's also came in a 2JZ-GE... Bolt on a large GT35/40r or GT42r and go nuts :thumbsup:

I wonder if they can be complianced in Australia as ive never seen one on the road...?

yes, but you are talking mechanical, and we all know that Toyota over engineer... but with the exception of the Caldina, everything that Toyota have pushed off the production line post 2001, as far as I can recall, have looked like crap.

It is like the people in charge of the aesthetics of their cars have no emotion what-so-ever.

if caldinas werent so expensive, i probably would have bought one!!

They needed to be a bit bigger too... but I do love the newer models (not so much the interior though).

I have always said that toyota make reliable, yet boring cars. The type of people who toyotas are best suited to are the type of people who dont know what car they're driving - they just want something cheap to run, reliable, and good quality. Toyota deliver on this 100%. And they do make a few good sporty-looking cars as well - I do like the supra for example. But for the most part I find their cars technically superior in almost every way, but overall just boring.

Its about appealing to the mass market - and there's definitely a reason why toyota are the #1 most profitable (is that the right term?) car manufacturer in the world. Until recently they are the only one who hadn't reported a loss.

And yes I'll admit the same can be said for most aussie-delivered Nissans as well (the garden-variety maxima and tiida come to mind).

But when you have a lineup including silvias, 180s', 300zx, skylines, stageas, 350z, 370z, and now the GT-R, its clear they are passionate about sports cars....and pretty much all of these cars have a strong fan base surrounding them.

Having said all of that, I know a few people who are passionate about toyotas so obviously i'm just biased. :banana:

Yep, they're just too damn ugly! I mean, the crown wagon looks like a funeral car, for crying out loud!

Its hideous! :banana:

Agreed... mostly.

Give me a Celica GT4 over a 180 or Silvia, and a Supra over a skyline any day!

Those cars certainly do not lack "passion"... but they ended some time ago, unfortunately.

(as it stands, had I not bough a car based on my wants and the needs of a family - thus the M35 - I would have been quite happy in a Supra RZ or a Celica GT4)

Its hideous! :cool:

So are you the pot or the kettle??

I found these pics today, crown S170 athlete V wagon.

Nice..1JZ, manual and rear wheel drive! This is a better comparism to the stag.

If the stagea is the GTR wagon, then this is what you would call a supra wagon?

Edited by dirtyRS4

I have this issue, ill see if i can scan in the next day or so..

The article made up my mind on getting a stagea in the first place. altho the article is for S1 :)

also has a GTR Transfer case pulled apart , if you would like ill scan that as well.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
