Hey fellas, The Z has a HKS EVC3, holds boost fine, probably working perfectly but I have no idea cause the screen is cactus, can see some characters but the leds are screwed. Kinda useless not being able to see what boost your running or adjust etc.. Trying to way up my options... Can I replace it with a second hand display? my understanding is they all have different serials so wont match the rest of the gear? Can you plug a laptop in with software to adjust it or do I just throw it away and buy a new one?
evc3's are now pretty cheap dude, you can get a second hand screen from the yahoo auctions, my first bet would be to make sure that its ground is still strong and hasnt accidentally wiggled loose or something similar if this is your same model its current price is 1.20 !!! the 3 is older... http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n91479405 this is the search link http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?ei=UTF-8&p=hks&auccat=2084018623&tab_ex=commerce&mode=1&slider=0
No worries, that one is actually newer. In Japan its the EVC2, released as EVC 3 everywhere else. Looks like this --> I'll buy a replacement one
What's broken exactly? Take it apart and fix the broken solder or component, if its the screen, go buy one from jaycar or dick smiths.
ohh.. those ones are fossils. they have the giant solenoid dont they http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j118357461
