If you want to get the same performance as this, without the hassle of having your car off the road and getting your hands dirty, give me $160 in $10 notes.

The weight reduction in not carrying over a dozen notes will be even more beneficial than sticking an intake restriction on your car.

been seen these ands on the tv for these hyclone things they fit into the air intake pipe and apparently make better air feul mixture. on the ad they say up to 15% more power and better fuel ecconomy. i wanted to know has anyone got one? they can be used on turbo setups aswell but un N/A guys are always in search of cheap power!!http://www.fuelsaver.com.au/what do u think bull shit what

I don't know, it's a big debate...

It totally makes sense that you'd think it would just restrict your air travel into the manifold.

But on my Land Rover Discovery-ES 1994 V8 3.9L model I managed about 23% increase in mileage on the highway with x2 Hiclones fitted after comparing previous interstate drives (and I drive non-stop)!

Air density could of played a role, but it would still make at least 15% more mileage on the highway with a steady stabilized foot throttle position!

But for city stop & start driving, forget it!!!

Only good for interstate driving in my opinion!!!

Did you do another long drive without Hiclones fitted but with new air filters?

I started with a K&N Air Filter.

I was doing thousands of kms prior to swapping for x2 Hiclones & I always managed more kms on the highway!!! :)

So I only have them fitted on x2 of my vehicles...

Whatever the Tune may be.

Discovery Series 1 is the only vehicle besides Commercial, that could handle 4.500kg towing these days!!!

As you can get Iron Man B Rated Coil Spring for the rear & mine weighed 2.5t wet weight (no sway with a tri-axle flatbed trailer loaded)!

As Dodge RAM 3500HD, Chevrolet Silverado 3500 & Ford F-350 all count as Commercial Vehicles on Rego...

With Dual Sun Roofs, V8 & full leather you seriously can't go wrong! :)

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
