What Are These?

[Dizmo]

What are these contraptions that are in the boot of R32.

First one is behind the side wall of the boot, in between the outer gaurd and the boot.

And the other one is next to the factory amp. It looks like a comp for hicas but my hicas is hydraulic.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I opened the object a the bottom 2 pics and I thought it was an amp

second two pics are the hicas ECU.. yeah it is hydraulic.. but it still has an ECU... I have no idea what the first two pics are..

would love to know what the first computer is for, can't work it out either.....wiring stops at that computer doesnt go anywhere else.

last one is HICAS as said, there are also ATTESA and and Amp under there

ECU = engine control unit

its shorthand for an engine computer, not just any computer

so pictures 3 and 4 are a hicas computer. it doesn't control an engine, so its not an ECU

any questions?

The device in the first 2 photos is related to the radio antenna system in the R32's which use the heater grid in the rear window as part of the antenna. The stock front windscreen also has a grid, although not as extensive. I suspect the box is some sort of filtering electronics.

But HICAS has engines for turning the wheels?

[WazR32GTSt]

an engine?

or a motor?

an engine has cumbustion chambers in it.. does the hicas motor have mini cylinders? i don't think so...
