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.

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

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! :D

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

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
