We see renderings of station wagons and shooting brakes all the time. There's just something cool about taking a sportscar or performance sedan and turning it into a family hauler. BMW officially said no to the M3 Touring recently, but we're sure that won't stop somebody from making his own.
Today, we're going to look at the creation of a guy who wanted his GT-R to pack a king-sized trunk. It's based on the Nissan Stagea, which is commonly known as the Skyline wagon because it shares many parts with its Godzilla cousin.
There's three version of the car, the last one being built right up until 2007. This particular model was discovered recently on eBay where it's described as an RB26DETT "GTR" r34 Skyline wagon Attessa AWD. That means it's got the 260RS 2.6-liter V6 engine and a 5-speed stick, which is quite rare.
But doesn't really matter because D1 drift builder Ross Petty completely changed the drivetrain. The RB26DETT engine installed in this vehicle is known for its ability to make incredible power while maintaining it's reliability. Last year, it received a full service and was running on 18psi, so it should be fast. The only thing that's not working is the speedometer. Below, you can find the full list of modifications
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
