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.

    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
    • what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
