sounds like a hunting problem... jesus that could be a few things, most prob an air leak

but if you dont no, take it to a mechanic BEFORE you do some damage

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Brisbane? I would appreciate any help I can get....

Mercury Motorsports is an SAU Qld sponsor and do a decent job from what I've heard. Or, as Nexus9 mentioned, there are a few members around who may be willing to help ya out in Brisbane. I'm in Brisbane but I'm no mechanic but someone like 3LIT3 32 (Daniel) is great.

One of the hoses off the manifold was split. I changed it and everything seemed ok, until last night when it started doing it again. I will try Mercury first. Cheers for that, being a chick I think all mechanics just see dollar signs when they see me coming!!

Hmm interesting to see an O2 sensor causing that problem, but entirely possible none the less. I've got a bit of detail on some of the causes of this problem on another thread for the DIY's out there.

Just my own contribution, may make it a bit more clear for some.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
