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 :)

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
