Hey guys,

I've just sold my 4dr R33. Although it had 4 doors, it just isn't big enough for the baby on the way. (They're so small but they need so much stuff!!)

So in order not kill off my love of Jap turbo fun completely, my better half has agreed for me to find a wagon/roomy sedan that will still fill my positive pressure needs. :)

So I'm thinking a few different things. Legnum, Stagea, Liberty GT, Legacy... But have no experience with any of them.

What're your suggestions/recommendations?

I agree, I don't think I could squeeze a mountain bike in the boot of my 4door like I could in my old 94 Bluebird.

Having no Experience with the wagons, but if in your situation, I would go straight for a StageA or even a modified R31 wagon.

(but I'm a Nissan Freak) :P

Edit* Just Don't do what my sister did and get a Cube thinking it will handle 2 teenagers, Mum & Dad and a Labrador. :laugh:

Anyway, I was happy with mine!

Elgrand or Stagea.

Liberty/Forester are good as well. Just make sure they're the turbo version, the N/A versions aren't that awesome.

I hear some Toyota Crowns are coming into Australia.

I'm in the same boat - need something suitable for carting the (upcoming) child and all the stuff that comes with them & can carry 2 dogs. I'd like to be able to separate the dogs from the baby in the back so I'm looking at a Toyota JZS171 Crown wagon. Will probably have to get a custom made cargo barrier.

I had a c34, and loved it (stock auto RS4) but have since had a bit to do with Legnums (both manual), the Stag feels a bit better built, and is a bit bigger, but the pay off in price, performance, handling and economy was massive. I think the Stags have got a bit better value recently, and the M35 is better on juice.. ARX4 is the go I reckon

For the price you can't beat an rs4. 4-6k with leather, power everything, rb, awd, under 150ks, etc.

After driving in a legnum, i wanted one. A lot quicker, smoother gearbox, still power everything, awd etc. but they're more expensive.

You forgot to add that Legnums look homo....

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
