Do you have a front mount? pull out ur plugs and see if they are fouled..

If you cant be bother get on the highway and launch it to try burn off anything on the plugs.. you will prob have to change them soon. when you do regap them to 0.8 - 1.0 somewhere about there.. unless you up the boost then keep it at 0.8

Nope.. no front mount....

I can see the Nth bound off ramp at the tuggerah exit on the F3 from where i live so i will get onto the freeway and see if that does anything ... spose i may as well change them whilst im there.. looks to be a pain in the ass job!

I can get double platunim NGK plugs for $16.20 plus gst each.. that a good price??

I just use regular NGK's round $6ea. All Iridiums do is last longer, they dont perform any better, there's plenty of threads bout plugs if u search. Just make sure u gap them correctly for the boost ur running.

i know this post date is well after the last one but for any future referance.

it's not TCS that is the problem it's the O2 sensor i had the same problem above 4 000rpm under load major problems tacho would jump from like 4 000- 7 000 rpm randomly the engine was not even doing that much.

week or two later engine light started coming on (only when warm cause that is the only time the O2 sensor does anything) got it checked at work sure enough O2 code was there.

yea car still has the problem.. and its over fueling something shocking. Im going to get a EL 02 sensor and see how that goes.

Im not driving the car that much atm so im not too concerned about it all.

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
