Do MX5s have a Consult or diagnostic Port?

Open the bonnet.
To the right, near the air box you will see a small black box with a lid that pops open.
That is the diagnostic port.

Google will show you a bunch of things you can use it for with usually nothing more than a paperclip.

It is OBD1.
Only NB,s have OBD2 I believe.
Which is far more useful.

oh..

I've got one of these from when I had my skyline and thought it might be usable.

Might ask the manufacturer if it works with NBs

Here are the instructions for using the NA diagnostic port

Only late NBs.

NB8A does not have it, and I think early NB8B didn't either (can't confirm that part)

I think the US market MX5s had ODBII much earlier (in the NA8 maybe?) but they also had a lot of other weird bits added to the NA like airbags and I think ABS.
