Yes, some series 2 Neo Stagea's do not have the tipronic gearbox

Cheap base model car. They are not very common.

I would not buy it for that reason

I just had a closer look. That car is a series 1 (black dash dials, not white), so it it would not have a tipronic anyway

But my last post is still correct, very few series 2 did not have tipronic either

Did some more searching

Here is another series 2 with No tipronic, but with black dials

So my second post was wrong about it being a series 1

Maybe some of the first series 2's, nissan was cleaning out the series 1 auto gearbox cupboard, until they swapped over to the tipronic gearbox?

Yeah - I have seen a very similar bastard child S2 tha had no triptronic. It did have the white faced gauges though, and it also had the Neo engine so I have no answers for you there. I can say that the one I saw I would still consider because it had a very unique level of trim and some very nice bits 'n pieces (Dayz bar, among others)

If you like the car then just evaluate it on its own merits, not wether it has everything a RS4 has. You may even save a few bucks on it and it would be a great base for a manual conversion later on.

hmm can we call it a S1.5 stagea? (joking).

I'm assuming it does still have the NEO engine?

but no transmission oil cooler? (guessing).

I cant imagine resale value of these models being any higher than a standard S1. Just my opinion though.

looks like a 25x series to me which did come with leather and wood satnav etc but black dash and no triptronic there was a red one on jpsec for about 12 months like it...............http://history.nissan.co.jp/STAGEA/PAGES/MC0831/index2.html

Mike is absolutley correct!

This is a 25(t) X FOUR with optional olive grey leather (heated) seats. (velour was standard)

It has the optional Momo Wood combi steering wheel

All the X & G series came only with the E-ATx box (non tiptronic)

This is NOT a prime edition.

Is it a 98 model....they seem to have different front grill compared to S1 and S2 versions. This may be the case for the car you are looking at. Pretty sure these ones do not have the NEO RB hence no tiptronic.

EDIT: Just saw post #6 about 2000 model.....there goes my theory blown out the door. :P

The grills with the bars in them are the lower-grade X- and G-spec models. This one below is a WH-C34 20G, which means it has an RB20DE and auto box. The series 1 version of the 20G didn't even have DOHC - how much would that suck! A two-litre, single-cam, automatic struggling with the weight of a Stagea...

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
