New Import - Need Help

[MHHJ]

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and recently purchased a 1997 R33 GTR Vspec from Japan.

Its not arrived down under as yet and probably be a few weeks/months away from landing here.

The reason I write is that I have no clue of what this HKS unit installed in the glove box is - does anyone have a clue and what it does?

I know it'll probably have to come off during compliance - but I am still interested on what it does.

It looks pretty serious! Sorry for the nube question and I'll be grateful for any advise.

Thanks!

it's a HKS EVC

it will have to come off unforunately... and they're only worth about $20 these days...

...if you want i'll be happy to take it off your hands for $20! but yeah... you can't have it.

...oh and i'll want all lines and valves etc too.

[Mr Eps]

............. okay FINE. $30 and that's my FINAL offer

nah just kidding. it's a HKS electronic valve controller, (EVC)

can't tell what model it is but it doesn't look old ... actually i think it's an EVC 4??? i beleive they're up to EVC 6 now???

basically

*BRRREEEATTTTHHHHHEEEEEeeee*

HKS' all-new EVC (Electronic Valve Controller) is the first boost controller to feature integrated CPUs in each component (Display Unit, Control Module, and Stepping Motor) for more precise control, quicker response and improved boost pressure stability. This race proven system is available in kPa and PSI measurement and features an easy-to-read LCD panel that can be positioned separately from the control module for driver convenience.

***RRP - $1299

Thanks for that!

Apparently a new one of this is worth over $750 on the HKS website!

Not sure why the owner has installed it the way he has - surely it could have been installed elsewhere or in some other way.

the gauges look like A/F and exhaust temp

and yes the New ones are prob worth that retail but that one would be worth alot less it is just a boost controller i you dont have to view them 24 7 and hidden away is a nice for the un suspecting

[R31Nismoid]

Its realistically worth maybe 450-500, i think its a "5"

The number differs depending on if you look @ HKS USA or HKS JPN

[HIZOKU]

Dont "5" have white back light and "4" have green back light? i think but yeah your right USA website compared to japanese diff numbers for diff things
