Nissan Stagea Paddle Shifter Now Available

 
Works Bell Column Shifter installed in Nissan Stagea - 
Owners of the Nissan Stagea with tiptronic style semi-sequential automatic transmission will be very pleased to hear that in addition to the Works Bell Paddle Shifter kit for aftermarket non-airbag steering wheels, a paddle shifter system that works with the factory airbag steering wheel is now available for the Nissan Stagea.
The Works Bell Column Shifter plugs straight into the factory wiring using a twin plug so that both the factory shift lever and the paddle shifter work - Image Credit: Chris Benny, Chris Benny Imaging One of our customers, Chris Benny of Chris Benny Imaging owns a Nissan Stagea.
The Works Bell Column Shifter was originally designed for the Nissan 350 Z / Z33, but because the 350Z / Z33 Fairlady, the Infiniti G35 and the Skyline V35 share a number of common parts between them, therefore the Works Bell Column Shifter can be used on a the G35 and certain models of Skyline V35.
Chris wanted to see if the Works Bell Column Shifter would work on the Nissan Stagea, so he purchased one from us to see if it would work on the Stagea.
The good news is that Chris reports ...
"I was going to wait for my brother to give me a hand, but after looking at the kit and instructions, it looked really simple.
First step was to remove the center console and find a white plug that controls all the shifting.
All you do is plug in the supplied plug."
The kit includes a twin plug, so both the paddle shifter plug and the factory gear lever plug both plug into the factory wiring ... so you can change gears with the paddles or with the factory gear lever - they both work.
