You can look it up in the Skeptics Dictionary - you'll find it between Haunted Houses and Homeopathy. To quote

"Hiclone promises fuel savings of up to 20%, power increase of up to 15%, and hydro carbon emission reductions of up to 30% with prices from $160-$215 (Australian). They'll even sell you something called Fuelmax which "is a magnetic frequency resonator which clips onto the fuel line and 'fractures' the passing fuel, allowing it to mix with oxygen more readily and thus burn more efficiently." This should keep you laughing for up to ten minutes"

The results were certainly good, although I onnly laughed for 5 minutes - perhaps because I'm an old bastard and remember the Brock Polariser and such.

Gav, Ant fit a polariser to your car, and it's making 1000hp now :)

Those so called magnetic stuff are crap. Same as broquet fuel catalyst or what nots. Wtf would something invented in WW1 be so amazingly applicable today that major maufacturers don't implement it? Think about it. Manufacturers would boost their sales if they can increase their fuel efficency with just a few hundred bucks. After all... whats a few hundred when u're paying thousands? Every car manufacturer, esp in the economy class, toyota, mitsubishi, etc.. are trying to get better fuel economy so as to promote their cars, you'd think something as "proven" as fuel magnets and stuff like that would make their way into the production line if it worked.

So cut the crappy stuff out, and think for a while. It's all a placebo. " I paid good $$ for it and it definitely works, cause if it didn't i'm as good as a sucker"

Sorry if it was too blunt and harsh, its just that i've got wayyyyy too many friends who paid good $$ for this kinda stuff to try to improve fuel economy and get more power. And they swear by it, and it just gets a lil irritating sometimes. The best way to get better fuel economy out of your car is always your right foot, and of course your necessary maintenence, tyres and tyre pressure, etc.

    • So you can then buy a more expensive, less reliable, more boring and slower replacement that's harder to work on and you have no knowledge of?
    • Will take much better photos when the time comes, I still want to do a sub 1m50s on street tyres at SMSP (just because). Then will slap on proper tyres and see if the car can get down to 1m40~45s range. If it goes sun 1m40s without aero, then wow.. but I don't expect the shit box to go that fast.
    • I have the OS Giken R3C with the GM 26 spline input shaft in my 32(Rb32 with only around 750hp atw) and its a pig to drive. Its actually very forgiving when its cold when when its warmed up, it chirps the tires even when trying to take off slowly. Mind you though, part of this has to do with my clutch master(Non-OEM) so the travel on the rod is shorter. How did you get 1130hp at 85% @e50?! Are you running a stroker? If so, I would recommend the R3C purely because it handles the abuse.
    • First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day).  It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team:  Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
    • Haha thanks for reply man Trying luck and Hoping to find one from all the sources, it's hard to find one as Nissan stopped production on sunroof glass panels
