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.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
