I decided to take the car cover off the big 33 this morning and take her for a spin. Just got home and i dont have the usual smile i do when driving my car.

Its about to tick over 100 000 km (unfortunately) so she is due for her major service anyhow.

i did notice this morning it certainly doesnt have the punch and throttle response it did at about 85,000km when i brought it. its had regular oil and oil filter changes since then and coolant and gearbox oil when i brought it so i have not neglected the poor thing of fluids. also replaced pod filer.

my thoughts for next week when i do full service are as follows...

*new bosch platnium plugs

*new o2 sensor

*mutul turbolight 4100 engine oil

*drift magnetic oil filter

*coolant

*motul diff oil (im opening diff to shim it anyway)

*bosch fuel filter

*service standard injectors

will also take to a workshop to get timing belt, front mainseal and waterpump done.

car has always been filled with bp ultimate since ive owned it. mods are.. front mount, cat back exhaust and 12psi.

Fuel consumption has always been high but i assume its running fairly rich. any thing anyone can suggest to regain any of my missing power would be greatly appreciated??

am i missing anything in major service too?

thanks.

what ecu / piggyback are u using? or remapped ecu?

the stock ecu wont like 12psi so you must be using something else

check the basics, check timing (with a timing light)

check all fluids, look for any obvious leaks etc

if stock ecu, try resetting it

standard ecu with a remap im pretty sure. i know it cant be running the standard tune because a friends kid wound the boost controller right up and it ran at 20 psi for a few minutes the next time i drove it. not that any damage was done i only came on boost a few time befor i noticed but it didnt miss or rich and retard or anythng so def not standard tune i assume.

standard turbo? at 20psi for a few minutes it wouldnt have liked that?

id definetly try new plugs and a fresh tank of fuel.

BTW, should go for some motul 8100 (xcess i think it is) only 20 buks more then turbolight and its full synthetic. Just an idea. Let us know how it turns out.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
