hi fellas, my 26 was running like a bag today,ive only had it about 2 months so havent driven it a heap...anyway it has been sitting for a couple of weeks but never done it before. im thinking it could be shagged plugs or coil packs but really have no idea ! i was playing with the 2wd mode by turning the car off and rolling and turning her backk on.. dunno if that could effect it in anyway... what it was doin was running fine one minute and coughing and farting the other, i cant remember if i was into it or not...was like hitting rev limiter at like 3000rpm and not going above that if you rev it. also wouldnt idle. it was playing up as i rolled into the servo, switched it off got some fuel, started it back up and ran fine. if anyine can give me some info that would be awesome. thanks

Coil packs would be my first guess, pull the cover off the coils and let it idle at night, you will probably see the sparks coming off the coils out onto the cam covers. If not possibly ignition timing moving due to damage on the front of exhaust cam. Try the coils first IMO, but there are others who know better

i dont think so, it done it before and after i got fuel mate, it just seems electrical to me, not like an old carby car where they cough and fart. like when i was trying to rev it and it was going from 2500rpm to 3500 rpm like a slow rev limiter. but it didnt just do it between that rev range ran like a bag lower than that too. im going for a drive tomorrow incase it was shit or dirty fuel but still seems sus/electrical to mee.. thanks!

I don't think it will be timing moving based on that, but to check it, put a plug lead between #1 plug and coil, check the timing then turn it off and start it check it again. See if changes drastically.

thanks iplen ill try that,if only i was closer haha and pipster i was thinking afm's after reading some info. i did have it all pulled to bits to paint some things, maybe i got some shit on the inside of the afm sitting in the shed?? . i checked the plugs into them when i was on the road and they were in firm, if she does it tomorrow ill tell u boys and try to describe it better, also might contact clean all the plugs i can get to. thanks again!!

grab some brake cleaner and a soldering iron!

hit the element with the brake cleaner and then solder up the bad joints!

maybe do the soldering first tho, brake cleaner is quite volatile

hi fella, well i think i sorted it, and it was the bov leaking!! im 90% sure, so all that minf f@ck for something so easy! also soldered the amf's but as i said recon its the sneaky lil bov!! had to let use know!! thanks

how did u know bov was leaking?

hi mate, well i put my hand over the (air to atmosphere) pipe and the car changed revs at idle.. and i stripped the bov in 2 seconds and found it wasnt sealing when shut, plunger was shagged so i clogged up the hole and she ran awesome :)

How much fuel is left in the tank when this happens, 1/4 by any chance?

I thought so, empty around 1/4 tank means you have a aftermarket pump in there which isnt mounted properly (either a bosch 040/044 or a walbro 255)

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
