What we’ve got here, good folks, is a Nissan ‘R35’ GT-R front end, mutilated with science and engineering, and welded to the middle and arse of a M35 Nissan Stagea.

This isn’t the first time the head of a GT-R has been frankensteined onto a Stagea – it’s a popular enough swap in Japan and there are probably a couple in Oz – but it’s surely a first for the all-new GT-R.

Combined with beautiful white paint, low offset, deep-dish rims, and a low ride height, you’d be forgiven if you’ve right this second begun thinking about starting a family just to justify the need for a GT-R wagon.

The real question though is whether the engine bay still bears the GT-R’s monstrous VR38DETT engine.

The Stagea end of this project has also received a GT-R style modified rear bumper, with its huge pipes poking through.

Built by Japanese tuning house Kids Heart (don’t worry, they’ve all got whacky names), this ‘StaGT-R’ is on show at the Nagoya Auto Trend show – if you happen to be in Japan.

  Crazy - I like it! Would still go for an VW Passat R36 Wagon though because I wouldn't want to look like a wannabe boy-racer dad hehe!

      Not disagreeing with you there but then if I was an old man with a station wagon my focus probably wouldn't be on racing from the lights. There's nothing worse than seeing some old guy with (for instance) a WRX STI racing some P plater in an Excel!

  Nice conversion! Kids Heart were also responsible for the SilEighty, so I guess they're old hats at this by now

  I think this is awesome i am 33 and a father of two I sold my GTR for my family I loved it not for the speed but for what it is and well this is something that I would be happy to drive and is practical for the family. And Stageas on top are very good for what they are so why not own something this cool!
