Nissan Autech GTR Limited Edition

Description:

The Stagea 260RS Autech Version, or just 260RS, is a tuned version of the Stagea made by Japanese tuning company Autech in partnership with Nismo.

The 260RS uses the 2. 6L RB26DETT coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission and features ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive from the R33 GTR and a limited-slip rear differential.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

Autech 260RS's VIN plates are the standard Stagea RS-Four VIN Plates with an RB25DET designation. The conversion was done entirely by hand on each car, by the Nissan tunning company Autech, outside of main assembly line.

This example is finished in the handsome shade of Silky Snow Pearl over a two-tone grey cloth-trimmed interior, featuring red perforated inserts on the seats and door cards, and gloss-black trim.

It rides on an aftermarket set of 18-inch new Enkei five-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss-white, shod in new semi-slick tyres.
The factory specification includes center console front torque, oil pressure and boost gauges, automatic air conditioning, and electrically adjustable folding door mirrors.

This Stagea 260RS now features a Pioneer Carrozzeria stereo system with CD multichanger, the air conditioning controls moved to the glove compartment, HKS mushroom air filters, an aftermarket air induction kit, Alcon front brake callipers, a Samco Sport silicone radiator hose, and a triple-plate OS Giken Racing Sport clutch, chassis Bracing and more..

The car comes with the original Japanese owner’s handbooks, a full Japanese car check report, verified mileage, the auction sheet, the Autech manual, and an optional parts brochure.

SERVICE HISTORY

This Stagea’s most recent maintenance was around 51, 000 Kms, which consisted of a full engine service using HKS parts, including all new Teflon drive belts, a new water pump, and battery, as well as new racing tyres, and a full 60-point inspection.

Other notable maintenance includes the gearbox bushes being replaced, new spark plugs, and the induction filter elements replaced.

SUMMARY

This Nissan Stagea 260 RS Autech is a particularly well-preserved example of the rare modern classic Japanese performance estate, offered with low mileage from new. Understood to be one of only 1, 734 examples produced, with a number of desirable factory performance and cosmetic upgrades, the lauded twin-turbocharged ‘RB26DETT’ straight-six, and an advanced all-wheel-drive system, it would make a notable addition to any assembly of Japanese performance cars, and an exciting yet eminently practical companion for retro daily driving, weekend sprints, and family road trips alike.

No Rust
A non crashed repaired example, excellent condition, must see!Like other Japanese sports cars of the time, the 260RS officially produced 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) but most sources believe the actual horsepower to be higher.

Only a few hundred series 1 models in pearl white were produced from November 1997 to March, making these a very sort after rare import and a true collectors car!
