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....

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
