In my home country you see these magnets in most workshops...lots of brands and prices..however they don't work...most of my mates who had them experienced no difference, well some experienced minimal difference. Better to spend ur $$ on other justifiable mods.

When you burn fuel, doesnt it set of a chain reaction anyway to blow everything up. The only way to minimise the amount of fuel burnt is to burn less fuel, rearranging its structure wont change the volume you burn, it might make the fuel burn more efficiently but there are so many hydrogen and oxygen molecules in there packed together with very strong bonds, the higher the octance the stronger the bonds i believe, that putting them all in uniform structure i dont think will make any difference when we ignite the crap out of them anyway.

I quote this from the ebay link,

"The fuel saver accelerates combustion and burns more of the fuel that is normally exhausted as un-burned pollution."

Ok, yes it might burn more of the fuel because of its uniform stucture, but it still burns the same amount of fuel, hence doesnt save any petrol already used.

I've got one on my car atm. For the $40 I paid, I figured I'd give it a go. Installed it about 3 months ago and although it may be coincidence, an issue with "hunting idle" stopped.

Other than that, I've seen no benefit to having one of these. I got the same fuel consumption etc etc. Now that I'm promted, I'll remove mine soon to see if the hunting idle problem comes back and I will let you know what happens. :P

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
