Frankly, I'm not one for believing you can "blow out" the spark because of a bit of extra boost. When the spark is fired, the combustion space is closed (has been closed since about 55 ABDC). There may be a bit of swirl caused by the upward movement of the piston, but nearing the ignition point, the piston hardly has any vertical velocity. So I can't imagine enough turbulence to actually extinguish the spark.

A poor spark is usually a sign of a poor ignition system; closing down the gap is only a band-aid fix, and masks the true problem of a weak ignition system.

That said, 42psi at idle is too much. The handbook says 2.5 bar (36 - 37 psi) at idle, 3 bar at IGN = ON (pre-start), or at idle with FPR airfeed disconnected.

Have you replaced the coil -> spark contacts? Have you cleaned all grease and dirt off the sparkplug protectors on the coils? Have you had the injectors cleaned recently?

Open the gap back to "standard" (1.1mm).

i havent replaced the spark plug contacts only sanded them down to be a bit smoother and flatter as they were showing pitting and burn marks,ive cleanes the spark protectors and only run injector cleaner through the petrol,im pretty sure all injectors are going as ive put a screwdriver up to them and listened and the note all sounds the same on each injector

could the blow off valve have any thing to do with the miss as it was homemade and leaked at idle

also the car seems to be running real lean could this be fuel pump not pumping enough fuel?

is there any way i can clean the injectors myself?

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
