Nissan Stagea Autech Version 260RS

The Autech Version 260RS was Nissan's answer to the question of what a Skyline GT-R estate might look like. Built by Autech, it used the R33 GT-R's RB26DETT engine, five-speed manual gearbox, ATTESA E-TS four-wheel drive and Super HICAS four-wheel steering. Only around 1,734 were made, and this one is a March 1998 car in its original Silky Snow Pearl.

It has been taken well beyond standard. Phoenix Power Japan tuned it around a genuine N1 block with a Tomei 2.8-litre stroker kit, Trust 280-degree cams and a Trust T88 single turbo. Redline Tuning in the UK measured 740.7 bhp on its four-wheel-drive rolling road. The dealer warns of old-school turbo lag.

Supporting work includes Cusco coilovers, Endless six-pot and four-pot brakes, Volk Racing forged wheels and a full set of Defi gauges. Redline has since serviced it, renewed various suspension and steering parts, and fitted a new twin-plate clutch and flywheel. The page gives 173,091 km and says a VX report shows no accident history.
