About the Nissan Stagea WC34
The Nissan Stagea 260RS is a high-performance wagon developed by Nissan's tuning subsidiary, Autech. It famously transplants the entire drivetrain from the R33 Skyline GT-R, including the legendary RB26DETT engine and ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, into a practical five-door body. Beyond the engine swap, Autech added Brembo brakes, 17-inch BBS forged wheels, and significant chassis strengthening to handle the increased power. It offers a unique driving experience that combines the mechanical soul and tunability of a GT-R with the utility of a large estate car.
