The Nissan Stagea WC34, produced from 1996 to 2001, is a station wagon built on the R33 Skyline and C34 Laurel platform. Its direct link to the Skyline is its main draw for collectors, offering the performance and feel of its sedan and coupe siblings in a more practical package. Most enthusiasts seek out the Series 2 (1998-2001) models for the updated styling and the more powerful RB25DET NEO engine, which produced 276 horsepower.
The most desirable and valuable version is the Autech 260RS. This factory-tuned halo car featured the 2.6L RB26DETT twin-turbo inline-6 from the R33 GT-R, a 5-speed manual transmission, and the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system. These are often called 'GT-R wagons' and command the highest prices. The Stagea's unique combination of performance, utility, and tuning potential from the shared RB engine platform solidifies its place as a JDM icon.
Buying Tips
- Check thoroughly for rust, especially in the strut towers, rocker panels, and floor pans, as these cars were often used year-round in Japan.
- On RB25DET models, inspect for oil leaks from the cam and crank seals. Also, check the condition of the ignition coil packs, which are a common failure point.
- Test the ATTESA all-wheel-drive system. Ensure there are no warning lights on the dash and listen for any unusual noises from the transfer case during turns.
- Interiors can show their age. Look for cracked dashboard plastics, worn seat bolsters on the driver's side, and ensure all electronic features function correctly.
- Many Stageas are modified. Scrutinize the quality of aftermarket parts and installation, as poor workmanship can lead to reliability issues.
