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! :)

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
