Did you read what I posted? Also, how much boost are you running?

it only happens when i hit high boost, i read a few threads with similar problems and it results in coilpacks, but i dont want to buy them unless im 99% sure :S. by the way if you have faulty coil packs does that mean you get less km's from a tank? because ive been getting less km's recently

question guys, insted of making a new thread i thought id ask here. ive pretty much come to the conclusion my coil packs are on there way out. now im abit short on cash so i was thinking is it worth getting brand new nissan coil packs from justjap or should i save for yellow jackets. would the stock nissan coil packs handle my mods?

take it to a proffesionall

Sighh............ :laugh:

There are a couple wonderful tutorials in the DIY section about fixing coil packs yourself. Lowering the gap is a good idea too (on new plugs). Don't bother spending hundereds of $ until you have exhausted your $free.99 options first. DIY section. Search.

before you go looking at coils, pull your plugs out and see what gap they are and what condition they are in. if they are 1.1mm plugs and have been in there for quite a while they may have worn and the gap may be bigger than 1.1mm so just putting new plugs in will solve the problem and only cost you about $30.

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....šŸ¤£) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something somethingĀ  Ā  Ā  Ā

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI InterchillerĀ  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50Ā°c+ to 25-30Ā°c with the interchillerĀ  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90Ā°c, now, the highest has been was around 38Ā°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2Ā°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
