interesting, read someplace that some manufacturers did away with the cutoff feature upon introduction of OBDII.... no idea if true...
I have not read anywhere about a fuel cutoff for the FZJ80,
My 1981 280ZX had a Bosch fuel injection, despite the decade between them it was very similar to the OBD1 setup in the 91-94 80 series. it had fuel cutoff, If RPM was >2500 and the throttle was closed via the TPS no fuel was delivered, with a 5 speed in the mountains you could spend quite a bit of time in this state coming down steep grades,

that makes sense and ties in with E's OBDII statement.
