Hi guys (and gals),

I'm doing the manual conversion to my Stagea and therefore have a series 2 Stagea tiptronic box for sale ... for the same price as installing a shift kit at MV Automatics!!! $475

The box is 62,000kms old

First service on box at 28,000kms when I imported it

Has stage 2 shift kit as fitted by MV Automatics at around 45,000kms

New solenoids fitted by MV Automatics at around 60,000kms

Also serviced at the time too when solenoids were fitted.

$475 ... no offers! You're getting alot of extras with this box as is.

PM me with interests

got a quick question, is the gearbox exact same as the one in a r34?

I'm told it is by MV Auto. But the gearbox is for AWD, so it has the transfer case naturally.

ant idea whats involved to run in a series 1?my trans is dying

Not sure. Can anyone else answer this. I would think the loom would be different for a start being tiptronic?

Hey bud, will you be avail this friday night for your refund? Got your sms but been busy, yet again.

Bargain, solenoids are more than that alone. Nearly $1,000 worth of improvements there. Almost tempted to get this as a spare!

Then do it :D

If I can sell this box within the week ... I can pay someone else to install the manual and make it their problem ;)

Or throw the cash at some extras :bunny:

Did you have any idea of how much it would cost to get the box to Perth?    

I would be interested if I can get it over.

I have absolutely no idea. You will have to enquire. Weighs about 90kg.

Tiptronic gearbox is now out of the Stagea ... doing my manual conversion now.

Get yourself a bargain ... if not sold by the end of the year, it'll just get lost in my garage.

You'd think that would be the responsibility of the buyer, but I would suggest you would be looking at some extra wiring, a series 2 ecu and associated grief to run it properly amongst other things...

I'll take it if you fit it.

hahaha.

If you can check out how much will it cost to put it in series 1 and what parts involved? I will be much more interested

Correct. I'm selling a worked tiptronic box. I have no idea what is involved with fitting it to a series 1.

Would delivary to queensland/brisbane be an issue?...or just at a amazing costt

It would only be an issue for you as it will be your responsibility. I'm happy to help out where I can (ie be available for the pickup).

Box still for sale.

PM me with interests please ... I don't frequent the Stagea FS section much sorry.

:P

Never heard back from you.

Nobody wants this box? Going in the shed after this weekend to be lost forever.

Had 3 people now not come thru on the deal. :banana: 1 more interested party, then its going into the shed, no longer for sale after that.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
