FIRST DRIVE of a Nissan Stagea

[@jameswatson7198]

😍 my old car, nice to see it still alive and not broken for parts

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yes it’s since been sold on and believed to still be on the road with the new owner. It’s a really nice example

Remarkably rare to find a 'factory' manual one. There were 1734 Autech 260RS's made which are equipped with the RB26DETT and full R33 GTR driveline (including manual 5 Speed box). Then there was the RS Four S; which featured only (🤣) the RB25, but retained the GTR's gearbox and AWD system. Only about 2200 'S's where built (all Series 2's with the Neo motor which introduced variable valve timing) so they are not that much more common than the sought after 260RS. Fortunately, being a Nissan parts bin car, its very easy to chuck in skyline components so its an easy car to manual swap. There are probably more manual Stagea's running around today than there ever were when new.

Good breakdown. I just bought an RS Four S myself. Jumped on it when I saw I could get it for almost 1/3 of the price of a 260RS.

I'm having a HubNut moment, he's all about wipers but for me it's the pillarless doors, that silly little feature sold it for me! That car is truly stunning.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Haha well that’s an honour. Pillarless doors are ace aren’t they. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@kennygreaves12]

paid £500 for mine many years ago when there werent many in the country infact owned it twice based more on a c34 laurel than skyline. its got a few nice bits that seem to go missing on transport tok nice example

[@DeanofMachines]

These cars are the closest to a skyline I would ever own. Super cool wagons

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah man it’s got the sounds but is a wagon it’s a win win for me

[@DeanofMachines]

@@SimpsonsClassics I was curious if you were taking the channel a new direction for a second there.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

@@DeanofMachines aha no just helping a mate out. I am a Volvo man 😉

[@johndaly2180]

It's a nice tidy car . The new owner will be happy .. not a fan of autos either if I owned it it would be manual swapped . There ok as a lazy motorway miles car . Also well done 4 videos in one week mate 👍👍

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yes completely agreed buddy. Thanks I said there was content coming think and fast. Cheers for watching

[@lonmar2645]

That is a nice car. Its a series 1 but has the series 2 rear lights. Also if it has an alarm that keypad could be the override code should something happen to the fob. Its ashame its not staying on the channel, would be a different project to manual swap it

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah its a great car but you know that aha, Hmm it would be great to keep it around but we have Volvos to build...

[@charlesvermander5138]

Beautifull car!

[@mikefoley360]

Think it sold at £5,100. I prefer the volvo too :)

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yea it was on eBay but currently an unresponsive bidder… so it many come back up for sale - Volvo all day long!

[@mikefoley360]

@@SimpsonsClassics eBay's a pain in the arse sometimes, hope seller gets what he/she wants and without further messing. :)
