Were both the Y30, and Y31 Cedric, and Gloria available as a wagon?

What engines were available in the Y30 Cedric, and Gloria?

I know both the naturally aspirated 2 and 3.0 liter versions of the VG, the same twin turbocharged 3.0 liter VG as found as the Z32 Z-car, the diesel version of the L, the LD28, and the diesel version of the RB, the RD were available in the Y31 Cedric, and Gloria.

Can't remember seeing any of these in wagon form. There is a Crown wagon of the same vintage which looks a little like a Y30. The VG30 turbo motor in the Y31 has a single turbo producing 190kw, while the Z32 engine is twin turbo producing 206kw.

They did come as a wagon, but Europe and Japland only, to my knowledge.

The Euro/OZ versions all came out with the first incarnation of VG30E. In Japland they were available with both the VG20ET, VG30E, VG30ET, RD28 diesel. They were not available with the VG30DET or VG30DETT. The Y31 was available with these later VG30DET variants.

OZ spec were all automatics, were as the Euro wagon, AKA The Estate, came as a 5 speed stick shift. Japland models seem to be less structured, with the manuals seeming to be an option on most models. The Estate also came as a 8 seater column shifter.

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
