I went for a long drive tonight down to the gong and noticed i was getting shocking fuel economy.I used a full tank there and back with a bit of a thrash here and there.The 02 was turned on but i noticed a couple of sensors had a black dot next to them (power fc)

Ones i can remember are IGN,F/P there where 3 others.I dont think ive seen these have a dot next to them before.

Should i be worried? The car was running rich but i put that down to the fact i was running 8 psi as the car is tuned for 16 psi with my highflow.

Found out what it means.Man i feel like such a NOOB! Thanks Paul for the FAQs ;)

You tend to forget things after being with out you car for 3 months lol

Still doesnt explain the fuel economy,will get it looked at.

Admin you may delete.

3 month+ old fuel is probably in the territory where you've lost a few octane points due to the fuel going bad(or starting to).

Take it easy and see if its the same on your next tank of fuel.

ps. my car drove like crap for a few hours after a week at the smashies.

Yep, your fuel is likely to be stale now Dave.

I would normally say drain it and refill it.

It did that itself up the maquarie pass on friday night :thanks:

    • 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.
