WGNC34

Nissan Stagea 260RS

RB26DETT, 2.6 twin-turbo, all-wheel drive

A GT-R drivetrain in an estate car, built by Autech in small numbers. Roughly 1,734 exist, which makes every auction appearance an event and every sheet worth reading twice.

Because so few were made, comparable sales are thin and the market is easy to misprice in both directions. The sheet is the only objective document you get.

01What to read first on a WGNC34 sheet

Confirm it is a genuine 260RS

RB26 conversions into ordinary Stageas exist. The WGNC34 chassis number on the sheet is what separates the real car from a well-built copy.

Rust in a car that was used as a car

These were family estates with GT-R engines, so they covered distance and sat outside. Underbody and tailgate rust notes are the pattern.

Parts that are Stagea, not GT-R

Body panels, glass and trim are specific to a low-volume estate. Any X or XX mark should be checked against whether the part can still be found.

Every mark named above is defined in the codes library, with what it costs to put right at US rates.
