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! :)

    • Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 😂  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.  
    • It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?
    • The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
    • Yep I'll find those and get back to you. To be honest I wasn't aware of data sheets until you mentioned it. I'm still new to this haha, lots to learn. My car is parked outside, it rusted in less than 24 hours lol. Only minor surface rust that was easily removed but I've been worried that it might rust from the inside out and screw me over in the long term (if I decide to keep the shitbox for that long).
    • Sorry I meant nismo bushes in the J arm, not the actual gktech upper camber control arm.
