Dear Bros,

I was thinking of getting an PV6, still not sure which year to get? should i get a slight new perdana 05 or should i get an older car 2000 with spare cash for maintenance? the interior changed to beige colour starting from 04? is anyone could confirm this?

Thanks

Hi there, just got a 2001 V6, not quite satisfied with the lights, its too low and dim. I'm doing lots of weekend night travel. Any sugeestion to improve this? And also wanna change the absorber. What brand is the best for long distance travel on lots of holes road ( kl to kelantan)

depends on your budget.

for lights, check if your headlamp cover is already dull/yellow. not sure about any products out there to remove the dullness but best solution is to buy a new set. if your cover is ok, you might wanna look at the bulbs. if you wanna stick to OEM bulb, you can try Osram nightbreaker (RM90/pair). slight improvement but lifespan is half of the normal bulb. i do not want to comment about HID because some members here are concerned about JPJ issues. if you are considering HID, please do a proper retrofit and not just plug in a cheapo HID kit and cause glare. Proper HID retrofit will set you back at least RM700 to RM1500 depending on quality and parts used.


for absorbers, you'll prefer a stiffer set for better high speed ride. I've been using Sachs Advantage and it has served me quite well in this area. I will try Monroe Reflex next, probably in 2 or 3 months time.

i agree with omnipotent's comments.
and wanna add a bit..

if u don't mind on doing illegal mods, HID is the way to go, but u will surely get surat saman from JPJ.
also, during heavy rain or fog, HID is useless.
i have heard that changing the headlmap wiring (more like upgrading it) will make it brighter.
or u can try adding headlamp booster. this will brighten your headlamp but your bulb's lifespan will be reduced to half.

as for absorber, are u maintaining the comfort setup or would like to change to a sportier setup?

frankly i prefer comfort setup...the car is not powerful enough for sporty setup anyway (mine is stock 6A12).

I'll be upsizing my tires to 60 series as well in my next change.

My only issue with the car now is the vibrating brakes and squeaky noise on my driver's seat. I've changed to Boash discs but the problem comes back after 10,000 kms. Any other suggestions? Will changing to Waja OEM brake discs solve the problem? My previous Waja brakes had no such problem at all.

Hi i'm also perdana v6 owner..i'm new here... i see most of guys here encounter the white smoke problem.. i've encountered before too.. based on experience..it's due to the valve seals already hardened.. so need to change 24 pcs of valve seals.. after changing that, no more white smoke and makan minyak hitam already...

just wan to ask sum stupid question here.

if the D2s socket from HID set change to H7 socket need to buy a new socket for H7? wiring how to change it back?

what i mean by sportier setup is changing to adjustable suspension which has harder spring and absorber.
and u can lower ur car as u please.
and with sportier setup, u may take corners with more speed and confidence.
my car is stock also, on straights, i can't catch my frens but on the corners i can close the gap.. (haha.. wishful thinking only..)

vibrating brakes indicate that the disc is bengkok.
try skimming or maybe change to twinpot brakes from galant for more braking power.

hmmm, i don't really get your question...

Added on April 30, 2010, 5:14 pmno la...old already...balls not big enough to take corners fast fast...after all, too many "unforseen" circumstances on public roads...we can never be too confident

ya, disc is bengkok, my previous stock brake disc also bengkok, so i skimmed it but it came back after 10,000kms also...that's why i changed to Bosch (thinking it will be better quality) but still same problem...

any recommendations where to get twinpot brakes (i got no exp shopping for halfcuts) and is it plug and play (ABS not affected)? furthermore, are they 5 holes (meaning i need to change rims as well)?

just trying to ask. currently using D2s socket at headlamp. if wanna change to H7 socket wat should i do on it?

hi, new perdana owner reporting in...

i just converted to RVR turbo auto but havent done piping and exhaust. how much it costs for 2.5" S flow piping and 3" mufler with labour?

got TT event here? hehe...

disc bengkok is common la, i think. i also skimmed my previous disc many times.
after change to mitsubishi single pot disc also have to skim.
now change to twinpot, no problem for now...

twinpot brake will cost u around rm500 to rm600 for the brake set (front only, caliper + disc) without labour.
look for front set only also ok. i change front and rear.
if install front set from galant or eterna, it's plug and play, ABS not affected cos u put the caliper + disc to your original knuckle.
some disc have 4 holes, but if it's 5 holes, u can ask the workshop to drill 4 holes to your disc.
but find reliable workshop to drill it. have to do exact measurements.

your headlamp is ori or modded? already put HID?

have u done the intercooler piping?
2.5" exhaust piping may cost : rm300 piping, rm150 centre bullet.
for muffler, better look for japan JASMA approved s-flow muffler.
such as Tanabe Hyper Medallion, Tanabe G-Power Medallion, Fujitsubo Giken, etc..
look for 2nd hand la. price around rm300-450.
