hi jag,

try this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=37720

I remember him having a few.... EVC 3 & 4. If it's for the GTR either a 3 or 4 will do. They both use the same stepper motor, and I'm sure have the same functions. I think he was selling these for $250 for the EVC3, and $250 for the EVC4... WOW they were cheap.

Good Luck

Thanks Simon, already got in contact with this guy and he said that he was going to find out whether he had any evc4's left, still awaiting for his reply....

Your car is coming up very well down at Ice, mine is the silver one beside yours getting virtually the same upgrades..... The cars look virtually similar with the xenons, no. plates, mods....

I've got an EVC 4 going in mine as you've probably already seen. On the advice of Ben & ICE, it seems alot of people are going the HKS way now. Hopefully my car should be ready today... it's been there since MAS :cheers: Either way, I have faith in the boys there, so far they have been very striaght, upfront & genuinely honest about my concerns.

PS: Hope you haven't pinched my no plates... I'll probably head down there tonight, as i'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms.

Well Ive been talking to the same blokes as you have and they swear by the evc4...

Yeah they better hurry up and finish yours so they can finish mine, apparently yours is priority at the moment.....

Will have to go for a cruise one day and compare both setups.....

JAG: A comparison would be good.

DAVE: I learnt the hard way, that the HKS Model description is a little confusing. So here goes...

What I got is known as the HKS EVC 4 in the US, however in japan it's know as a HKS EVC 3. What's known in the US as a EVC 3 is known as a EVC 2 in Japan ... get the drift. The model your referring to for around $900 is known in Japan as a EVC 4 with the the seperat display unit similar to the blitz model. In the US it is known as a EVC 5... Other words US seem to add a 1 infront, the same way they do with their "vehicle model years" eg: WRX 04 as we know it, is to them know as a an WRX 05. Typical yanks!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
