HJA is delighted to offer this extensively modified 1998 Nissan Stagea AUTECH Version 260RS, finished in its original factory colour, Silky Snow Pearl (WK1).

For those unfamiliar with the 260RS, this was no ordinary Stagea. Developed by Nissan's specialist division AUTECH, the car shared much of its mechanical specification with the R33 Skyline GT-R, including the RB26DETT twin-turbo engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, ATTESA E-TS four-wheel-drive system and SUPER HICAS four-wheel steering. With approximately 1,734 examples produced, the 260RS remains one of Nissan's more unusual performance models.

This particular example takes the original concept considerably further, with a TOMEI 2.8L stroker engine built around a genuine Nissan 24U N1 block and a TRUST T88-34D22 single turbocharger, supported by an extensive selection of Japanese performance components.

The foundation of the engine build is the genuine Nissan 24U N1 block, combined with a TOMEI 2.8L stroker conversion incorporating forged pistons, connecting rods and a 77.7mm-stroke crankshaft. Developed for Group N racing, the N1 casting features additional reinforcement around areas of the water jacket compared with the standard 05U RB26 block, making it a more robust starting point for a high-output engine. Increasing the capacity to 2.8 litres also helps produce additional torque and drive the

humongous TRUST T88 turbocharger.

The cylinder head has also received attention, with TRUST 280-degree high-lift camshafts, uprated valve springs and the necessary machining work. The camshaft specification is designed to improve airflow at higher engine speeds, working in conjunction with the large-capacity turbocharger to produce substantial power at the upper end of the rev range. Lots of old-school lag but extremely fun!

Fuelling is handled by GCG 1,050cc injectors, twin SARD high-flow fuel pumps and a 5-litre SARD collector tank. The collector tank helps maintain a consistent fuel supply under hard acceleration and cornering, when fuel movement within the main tank can otherwise become an issue.

The cooling and lubrication systems have also been upgraded with a TRUST front-mount intercooler, aluminium radiator, external oil cooler, TOMEI high-flow oil pump and increased-capacity sump.

PHOENIX POWER JAPAN

An important part of this Stagea's history is the documented tuning work carried out by Phoenix Power, one of Japan's longest-established performance tuning specialists.

Founded in Fukui by Koji Yokoyama in 1986, originally as Garage Fukui, Phoenix Power has spent approximately four decades developing high-performance Japanese road and competition cars.

The company is particularly well regarded for its expertise in ECU calibration and high-powered turbocharged engines. Phoenix Power's history includes Japanese drag racing, high-speed development and extensive GT-R tuning, and the company is also a member of the respected CLUB RH9 group of Japanese performance workshops.

Following its arrival in the UK, the car was sent to our trusted specialists at Redline Tuning for mechanical inspection, servicing and further calibration.

The engine received fresh Penrite 10W-60 oil, an HKS performance filter, replacement fuel filters and correctly gapped spark plugs. Redline also installed several new genuine Nissan suspension and steering components, along with new tyres and NISMO clear side indicators.

Redline then recalibrated the Power FC ECU on its four-wheel-drive rolling road, adjusting the low- and high-boost settings. On Redline Tuning's UK dynamometer, the Stagea produced a gut-wrenching 740.7 BHP!

In October 2026, Redline installed a new Xtreme Performance 230mm organic twin-plate clutch and matching flywheel, rated for 1,200Nm. We chose it for its high torque capacity and road-friendly performance, unlike the more aggressive metallic competition clutch previously fitted in Japan

[CHASSIS & BRAKING UPGRADES]

With this level of engine performance, the suspension and braking systems are equally important.

The Stagea has been equipped with CUSCO Street Zero A adjustable coilovers and upgraded suspension components, allowing the ride height and damping to be adjusted to suit the car's intended use.

An ENDLESS 6-pot front and 4-pot rear performance brake setup gives the driver confidence when braking from any speed.

The exterior retains its distinctive factory AUTECH bodywork, complemented by blue RAYS Volk Racing forged alloy wheels and a Kakimoto Racing performance exhaust.

Inside, the car features a NARDI sports steering wheel, an extensive collection of DEFI performance gauges and an additional tachometer with shift light. The gauges provide useful information on boost, fuel pressure, oil pressure, and operating temperatures, which is particularly relevant on a highly modified RB26.

It’s hard to find a Stagea this heavily modified in true JDM style, especially one built by a tuning legend. If you’re looking for something wild and unusual, get in touch!
