Flat Spots At Certian Rpm In Manual Mode On Auto + Alot Of Black Smoke/ruff Idle On Start Up


Recommended Posts

Hi GUys,

Its probably a ditry AFM or plugs or o2 sensor, but best for you professionals to determine :)

Past couple of weeks noticing random flat spots through the rev range, still have power, just rpm sits for abit before climbing again.

Just started the car, drove it this morning with no worries, very ruff idle, black smoke starts belowing out. stopped the car and started again, perfectly fine, no ruff idle, no smoke. No mechanical noises can be heard ie knocks etc

any ideas?

Get some new copper plugs (you don't say what kind of Stagea you have) and give the coils a good clean and examination while you're at it. If its a C34 get a new O2 sensor from Kudos

I recently noticed that my fuel economy is not as good as it used to be. This was starting to hurt on 98.

Firstly I cleaned/re-oiled the aftermarket k&n air filter (yes it was filthy) and cleaned the air flow meter with mass air flow sensor cleaner.

I have today received a set of spark plugs for the M35 - there is a bit already written on this topic and I chose the NGK Iridium IX (LFR6AIX-11) from PerformanceLub.

Just to cover everything I picked-up today an o2 sensor from Nissan. For the M35 this is 22690-AQ800 at around $160 incl GST. Not cheap but neither is fuel...

Sometime next week I will get around to fitting the spark plugs and o2 sensor. I will also try and get the injectors cleaned off-car.

    • 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.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
