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 :)

    • Car is now back - I have the Nismo fender extensions on it too. Body place did a really good job with melding them to fit the sedan.   I'd take a photo of the whole car, but it's somewhat hard to do from where it's parked in the carport. The OEM'ness is growing on me. As is the desire to buy wheels - But it would be flat out dumb to buy maybe fitting wheels with minimum precision and rush to fit them before going on a Tasmania road trip. Probably better to do that one with OEM spec wheels on it. I also bought a pod filter. It is not OEM spec.
    • The 32 still sits untouched with the broken gearbox. So a little off topic but not worth having a whole new thread. The daily starlet has gotten back on the road after 9 months. Suspected blown HeadGasket at a track day resulted in a bit of scope creep rebuild. The motor got a full tear down, pressure testing, machined for MLS HG, ARP head bolts, new bearings, all new seals etc also noticed some fatigue on the stock exhaust manifold so obviously the answer was a steam pipe manifold and highflow turbo. The exhaust was also looking tired with some rust holes. So I got a slightly over kill system made up consisting of Vibrant resonator and muffler with a highflow cat. The new highflow turbo had a larger inlet so instead of adapting the old intake got a case of the might as wells and had a nicer alloy intake made After the run in was finished i bought a (probably considered retro/vintage) EBC becasue "might as well"
    • Pretty stout result. How much boost? Anything left in it?
    • Just dropped the car off at MX5 Mania to install the intake plenum and give it a little retune  My impatience hates the waiting game
