and I'm impressed. Then I tuned it, and now I want one badly. It's a Nissan Stagea Autech 260RS. It's an awesome mouthful.

It's a wagon GTR, what's not to like? When 90s imports become available i'm going to have a hard time choosing...

R33 GTR

Stagea 260RS

JC Cosmo w/ 20B

Yea that is a very hard choice. Does it have the same engine as the R33? I didn't even look up the specs yet.

It is everything a R33 GTR is but it weighs more. The next Stagea 260RS is R34 based and looks a bit cooler IMO.

People swap GTR front ends onto these sometimes which looks weird.

Autech is, btw, Nissans other tuning wing other than Nismo and they make weird cars like that all the time. They made a R33 sedan GTR as well.

Autech is also partially responsible for the Nismo 350Z.

Didn't know that. I haven't noticed anything Autech in a while so it's good to know they're still around.

I have long maintained that this is the absolute perfect car. My dream 1-car garage is one of these given a once-over by either Mine's or Matchless Crowd Racing.

900 horsepower, soullessly reliable daily driver anonymous-looking wagon.

They are the Automotive equivalent of a 40k Necron army made up of a Catacomb Command Barge and a bunch of Night Scythes transporting alternating Immortals and Deathmarks.

That's sick! Thanks for the info. I never knew Nissan had 2 tuning wings. I took a look at the second gen and it looks a bit better because of the fog lights and it's less boxy. I wish the U.S didn't have this stupid 25-year import rule.

I'll look for it. It's even sexier than the Stagea. I like the looks of the earlier Galants.

Haha. It's a very solid 1-car garage man. And way to nerd out there. All I know is that's a Warhammer reference.

It's basically the current bulletproof "I only want one army but I want to beat everybody" army.
