hey I was going to say the choice of computer was the issue too :thumbsup:

a common problem when hot is the ignitor on the back of the motor for the coils, are you still running it? If so change it for a known working one and see how you go.

Is the microguess install new? you have to be careful with injector and coil settings, you can burn things out pretty easily by getting them wrong

hey,

Moodles.. Thx for the reply... i shall try get my hands on a stock ECU .. but tht might be hard..

Duncan.. Thx for the reply... i am really new to cars and my old man is new to the jap car scene aswell.. we had a read thru the micro tech programming book.. and we think when the car is hot its not getting enough fuel wen the choke is turned off... or something like tht.... ummm also we tried programming it with the hand piece and .. "murphy's LAW" the hand piece doesnt work... or it will not do what the book says =/..... thx for the ideas...

also i dont know is the microquess install is new.. and the coil packs in my car arent stock they were changed out to "Bosch HEC715 Ignition Coils "

cheers guys, Jamie

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
