The 1998 Nissan Stagea, part of the model’s WC34 Series 2, is a station wagon primarily designed for the Japanese market. The series is famous for sharing several mechanical components with the fabled Skyline, particularly the Autech version, boasting an RB26DETT engine borrowed from the R34 Skyline GT-R. Depending on the trim, engine options include a 2.0L RB20DE I6, a 2.5L RB25DE I6, and a turbocharged 2.5L RB25DET I6, along with the GT-R’s 2.6L RB26DETT I6 in the Autech version. These are paired with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. The Stagea was available with optional AWD. This vehicle is particularly noted for its mix of sporty performance and practical wagon utility. However, it lacks the advanced safety and infotainment features common in modern cars, as might be expected from its vintage.
