Hello Mal - I fitted two of them to my 80 series turbo about 2 years ago, one before the the turbo and one after, they cost me $300.00. I also keep records of my fuel consumption, and did not notice any difference in fuel consumption or performance. I recently removed the Hi Clones and immediately noticed a slight reduction in acceleration.
I would suggest that the $300.00 could
well have been better spent elsewhere.

I am trained in marketing Brian. One method of selling a product is to offer a no questions asked, money-back guarantee. Most successful businesses do this. Kmart, Big W etc. all do it.... so do most dodgy but successful marketers. Note the late-night TV telemarketers all offer money-back guarantees. Most people just don't bother to take stuff back. Most people who buy these types of 'wonder' products are just too embarassed to admit they are wrong.... or imagine that things have improved. Cheers Royce

Mal, have fitted them to 2 Nissan patrols, first was 2.8td, increased power at back wheels by 2kw, no decrease in fuel consumption, removed and got money back. Second was 4.2td, no increase in kw and increase in fuel consumption, removed and got money back. I've tried them, would not recommend them. Hope this helps.

I have no personal experience with them but know a few who have fitted them.
Logic tells me that the lack of people (both on this
forum and that I know) prepared to give them the thumbs up appears to be indicative of how good they really must be.
Having said that if anyone can give me rave reviews for an 80 series diesel then I truly am prepared to listen.

Here's your first rave review.
I bought a new 80 series GXL diesel (back in '92) and did 120 000ks over four years. Never missed a beat, couldn't fault it. Great vehicle.

I have an 80 series already. I was after a rave review on a Hiclone fitted to an 80 series.
Very clever if intentional and if not I giggled anyway!

you guessed it Allyn. You can probably get any number of rave reviews for your 80 series but I'll eat my hat if you get even one for a Hiclone.
