behind the back seats, just below the windscreen, right in the middle is a very funny lookin box with a strange lookin spherical fan or something, it seems to serve no purpose. Im a bit of a Newb when it comes to this kinda stuff so this is probably something that comes with every r32, but can someone temm me what it is !!! The picture below was taken with my phone, so soz for the poor quality. danke

looks like a kick ass looking amp

but they usually dont mount amps there becuase of heat issues and vibration

it could be an oldschool amp.. ive got another newer amp in the back.. is this really what amps used to look like??

can you get another couple of pictures of it?

i.e. one from under the parcel shelf (so, taken looking underneath the object from inside the boot) and one taken from the rear seat so it is clearer?

i think Osman_R32 is onto something... looks a bit like a rear air purifier i once saw in a Cima... though they're usually reserved for luxury cars....

The factory amp in mine was this tiny little thing hanging under the rear parcel shelf...

ok i took a few photos.. i tried taking a couple from under the parcel shelf but it didnt come up to well and i couldnt couldnt see anything interesting. Instead i took a photo of the wires that are coming out of the thing into the boot. My camera doesnt seem to like focusing on close objects so sorry for the blurriness of this photo.. theres another couple of photos from the outside too.

Looks like a fancy air purifier. Heaps of R32's come to Australia with passive air filters or little electronic boxes, but htis looks like a special purifier made for cars.

Still, it's a guess.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
