Get feeler gauge. No need for "gapping tool".

A light tap to close the gap on something firm is perfect.

Besides this is a na skyline, you shouldn't be having spark blow out.

Unless your igniter has carked it

Did you use genuine cool packs and harness?

  • Like 1

Ill get whichever one is cheaper since i already paid too much on this shit already.

Yes im using stock rb20 coilpack and loom.

My friend also told me it could be my ignitor. But dont u think its strange it just started doing this as soon as i serviced the car?

Also i dropped a couple of the spark plugs maybe about 20cm when i was trying to put it in the block, maybe a couple of them lost there stock measurment?

Also maybe the grounding on some of the plugs are dirty, ill degrease them

And about the afm, ill clean it out tomorrow but what do i use? When i had issues with air flow meter before it limited the revs to like 2300, this issue is way different it randomly putters every few seconds on idle and when i rev the car out the revs dont go up smoothly, it goes up a bit cuts off goes up a bit more

spark plugs don't like being dropped. A cracked ceramic insulator can cause ignition issues. A set of copper plugs is cheap as sh*t, would be putting in a set of new plugs if you hadn't already, can always just keep them aside for later use if it doesn't fix your issue.

I just use brake cleaner on afm, give it a fairly quick spray in the direction of airflow.

Wait what. R34's don't use igniters. How are you using an RB20 loom and coilpacks?

Guys the problem kinda just went away. After my petrol was very low this morning, i filled up and realised it stopped doing it. It doesnt cut off when revinvg it out and doesnt putter at idle . Could it be bad fuel i got at caltex?

Sorry it wasnt caltex, it was BP on kissing point road. I filled up when the tanker was putting fuel in the resevoir. I heard when it does it all the shit stuff from the bottom of the tank comes up and mixes with the fuel. I didnt believe it but it must be true. f**k BP then, i want compo for the time and money wasted

Good luck.

I remember a dude built an engine (RB30DE, he is builder so was doing it for fun), filled up at a dodgy fuel station, engine seized on the driveway out of the place. Didn't get a cent.

Water in fuel or something.

I never fill up at Caltex or BP, always with Mobil (Now 7 Eleven). Helps when they're closest to my house.

Change your fuel filter, maybe get injectors clean if they're old.

I started to get the engine problems when the fuel ran low though, like the fuel light was on. So could the rubbish stuff at the bottom finally get sucked into the fuel system and then it started causing ignition misfiring problems? Ill change the fuel fuelter and use injector cleaner... Do u think i need to drain and clean the fuel tank and system as well?

Does my issue sound like it was because of the ffuel? Does bad fuel cause these type of misfiring and puttering problems?

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new 
    • Just came across this, but in QLD I start leave again in 2 weeks, if it is still available I might drive up and check it out Unless, @MBS206 do you live near here????, if so I could hit you up with a finders fee https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hope-island/auto-body-parts/nc-mx5-factory-hard-top/1328976391
    • 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
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • 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.
