This Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech is a rare and exciting modern classic Japanese performance wagon, which is reported to be in largely original condition. Under the bonnet sits a twin-turbocharged 2.6-litre ‘RB26DETT’ straight-six, which sends its power to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was first registered in December 1997, and has recently been imported to Australia. This Stagea 260RS Autech is one of just 1,734 examples produced between 1997 and 2001. The car is thought to be number 343 of 1,734 examples built. The odometer shows 215,333 km from new. Build year: 1997 Produced in collaboration with the Japanese tuning company Autech, the 260RS was a performance variant of the practical Stagea wagon. The model featured the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, a limited-slip rear differential from the R33-generation GT-R, Brembo brakes, body strengthening, an undercarriage protector, upgraded suspension, a front strut brace, a unique rear stabiliser, an R33 GT-R steering wheel, GT-R-style gauges, and an Autech body kit, including a unique front bumper, side skirts, and tailgate spoiler. This example is finished in the refined shade of Silver Metallic, over a black and grey synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring perforated door card and seat inserts, and gloss-black trim. It rides on a set of 17-inch BBS Y-spoke alloy wheels, framing Brembo brake callipers, and fitted with Michelin tyres. Equipment includes roof rails, tinted rear windows, automatic air conditioning, centre console front torque, oil pressure, and boost pressure gauges, a cassette stereo, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. This example has been fitted with Räzo pedal covers, a Nismo-branded intake manifold, and a clear cam gear cover. The car comes with an export certificate, a space-saver spare wheel, a Gorilla portable DVD player, and the engineering paperwork. One ignition key is included.
