TOKYO, March 10 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei average was flat on Wednesday, with gains for machine stocks after better-than-expected machinery orders helping to offset a drop for recall-hit Toyota Motor Corp <7203.T> after an incident involving a Prius in the United States.

The benchmark Nikkei <.N225> ended virtually flat, dipping 3.73 points to 10,563.92.

The broader Topix <.TOPX> fell 0.2 percent to 922.44. (Reporting by Masayuki Kitano)
