Hi all,

I'm wanting to get a v36 coupe soon and cant decide if I want to go with manual or auto with paddle shift.

Managed to find a manual to test drive recently and did like it. I had an auto v35 until recently and was happy with that being auto but just cant decide this time around.

I realize this is a long short & a big ask but I'm getting pretty desperate to find a way to see what the auto paddle shift models are like and can't find any for sale here in Adelaide, I'm wondering/hoping someone here would be willing to let me see what theirs is like.

So if youre willing then please contact me.

I'm located close to the city but can travel to you, whatever would be convenient.

Like I said, yup.. it's a long shot. But short of flying interstate just for a test drive, I have no other options to test drive one before deciding and importing one!

Thanks :)

one of the guys at synergy imports is driving around in a manual and he hates it. Says the auto is alot better.

dont know if they have any autos

Yep, last weekend I drove the black manual one in question that Sinergy have at the moment (not currently advertised).

As mentioned, I did enjoy driving it as manual, but drove an auto paddle shift model this weekend and definitely happy with that also. Plus a test drive only runs for a little while, may be a different story after a few weeks of driving a manual version in traffic etc each day.

Anyway leaning more towards auto-paddle at this stage :)

      Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving

      Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)

      From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
