Hi
I read a post in another thread about the V3000 in NZ. I did a bit of looking around and sure enough I found a picture of one.
It's base on the TN but with styling cues more like a late model toyota cressida YUK.
But I was curious when i noticed it has a 3 litre motor ??
Does anyone know more about them or where I can get more info about them.
I think that would go very nicely in a TM if I could get a front cut.
Be much smother than doing the old astron II up.

*throws up

hell yeh, they look retarded almost when compared to a normal magna :p
kinda looks like a cross between an octavia and a magna i think :)

Apparently they are (width wise) thinner than the Australian Magna (TM-TP) aswell. I tried to get a hold of the V6 engine mounts on that model and they told me that the V3000 is not as wide as the Magna.

But... It means the V6 (6g72) will fit in the engine bay with room to spare hopefully.

Does it?

It could possibly fit. The 6G72 isnt a big motor.

Yeah and the Manga's have pretty small engine bays to work with dont they :roll: Fitting any fwd engine shouldn't be a problem with these suckers. If i was to transplant a motor into one i have no doubt in the world it would be a TP body with a SR20
