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.

well i am still after one with leather, but this one also doesnt look too great from the outside. i'd also want black leather.

it is also a 2000 model

looks like it might be best i import myself

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.

Sorry, this looks better:

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.

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...
