Any general opinions on this car-- 1998 Nissan Stagea 260RS Autec? It's up for sale and easily googled from the dealership name in photo. Very unusual, seems cool in some ways, clearly modded, but tastefully, or poorly?

>>28985222>28 year old japshit appliance owned by weebfag ricers Lmao sure op buy it, I’m sure nothing will go wrong.
It's really cool. I'd love to have that as a project. The bodykit is a bit ricey but better than it could be. Appears to be a GReddy turbo upgrade kit of some kind, they're quality. It looks to be pretty worn out..>42k miles (or km)You wouldn't know it looking at the engine.>$29kYep, that's about what I expected.
It's riced as fuckThe interior does not inspire confidence in the rest of the modsI would not trust it for that price
>>28985237>>28985261True, that hood bump doesn't seem to be positioned over anything in the engine bay that needs it.>>28985248I think it's pretty cool too-- not in my near future, along with many other cool cars, as it would totally ground out on my driveway, which isn't even that steep.
>>28985261ppl are selling rb26s for like 20-30 grand
>>28985838>ppl are selling rb26sYeah, that makes sense>for like 20-30 grandWHAT THE FRICK
>>28986116It's like 12k-16k usd just for the engine.20k including gearbox and harness and everything else seems about right.Keep in mind these engines were so cheap for so long that builders in Aus/NZ would just haphazardly build them for big power knowing the engine would inevitably blow and they could throw a spare one in for cheaper than what it'd cost to rebuild it to actually handle the desired power. Do that for 20 years and the supply dries up.
>>28986116>>28986154To add, I remember reading about some guy who kept blowing stock gearboxes on his 1000hp GTR, apparently he'd go through like 10 of them a year. When there are countless people like that it doesn't take long for something cheap and available to become expensive and rare.
>>28986158>apparently he'd go through like 10 of them a yearsurely at some point you just bite the bullet and admit you need a built transmission
>>28985838Wild as I could get a built 2jz for like 5 grand right now.Not that I'd want japshit, but isn't 2jz the more popular MUH 1000HP EZ WITH JUST A TUNE engine for swaps?
>>289862505k? what a steal...seeing pulled gtes on ebay for more than that, upwards of 7k
>>28986296Yeah I'm not bullshitting https://www.tori.fi/recommerce/forsale/item/41528517
I saw a Stagea parked at walmart and absolutely couldn't believe what I was seeing.If you're looking to impress a tiny handful of autists in your area with your very obscure JDM unicorn and make girls go "what?" when you explain what it is then yeah go nuts.

>>28986250>built 2jz for 5 grand Kek you mean a low compression GE with GTE valve cover being sold by a spic
