i bought a 1996 perdana Sei last year for 22k, this year price 1996 perdana's price surely drop 18-19k maybe...

IMO, if u buy stock 1996 sei auto and convert it to evo III + labour charge, 3" piping, change to 5 lugs, branded 5 lugs rims, sunroof mabe, leather seats, alphadana bodyparts... you'll definitely will spent more than 31k... for me that 31k evo III perdana is worth it..

last time i mudah i saw an adv of perdana with evo III selling at 27k... i thnk sold oredy laa..

knight kriss, that 31k value is okay, but if that car have many xtras in it, i.e sound system, sport rims, sunroof, nice color, seats, gauge, fmic, banana, wastegate, good adjustable suspension.... it'll be worth it bro..

my perdana sei, i think i have to fork out about 7k for a complete RVR auto transplant.. complete with fmic, bov, boost gauge, exh piping, muffler.. not including adjustable suspension.. hahaha... what a waste.. if i had known this, i'll buy perdana TT manual last year instead

Added on July 5, 2010, 1:24 ama comon prblem on perdana is the stock auto gearbox.
but since mid-205, all proton has installed external ATF cooler for the gb.
so it is considered lasting la...

other than that, i dont think got any problems la.
engine, good. body, good. interior, good.

just change engine oil n GB oil in 7k service. also check the brake system coz not tat bite as original.

suddenly foreman found out tat GB convertor n GB oil sump got oil leaking.

wanna ask all forumers here. it is the symptom of the GB gonna need overhaul? or i just need to change all the related gasket?

need advise. TQ

leaking is normal problem.
just change the gasket, filter.

btw, whats GB convertor?

i think he meant the torque convertor

leaking happens if the car bottomed out and hit the oil sump. if normal wear and tear should not happen unless you use paria replacement gasket

Hi all,
i'm having prblm wit my suspension. it start to make some noise when i hit a road bumper. noise like there is a gap between the car & the suspension. im using gab adjustable suspension and it almost 2 years in my car. anyone knows wat is the prblm wit it? appreciate if anyone could give some opinion.

thanx..

@ NeuroOne
is tat normal for the parts ard GB leaking? will it b GB pressure too high til the gasket leak?

@ Omnipotent
i not sure is it 'torque convertor' or any other things. but is attached at the GB there.

did u guy experience tis things b4??

the torque convertor is on the opposite end of the GB oil sump, there's a drain plug to release oil as well. normally when changing ATF oil, my foreman will unscrew this plug and further drain the ATF. gasket leak can either be caused by:-

- physical damage such as oil pan hitting the ground when driving over speed bumps
- using non ori gaskets
- did not use gasket sealants when installing new gasket
- did not install the oil pan properly (gasket slipped out of place during installation or not screwed tightly)


high pressure will not cause gasket to leak (for normal wear and tear) because any pressure buildup will be released from the ATF dipstick inlet (happened to mine)

i think koh meant his atf oil sump leaking from the sides.
of not, he will say got hole or puncture..
i think its just the gasket or the sealant not bonding well or maybe slipped like u said.
and if around the torque converter got leaking, try check the oil seal on the inside of the gb behind the torque converter.

the oil pan made from very tough steel leh...i dun think it can puncture...maybe the impact is too great that the screws around it bent out of shape like what happened to my ex-colleague's V6

very clear explanation. but i never hit anything when i drive my car.

is just curios y suddenly me car GB got oil leak. makes me worry.

also my foreman said when he put out the GB oil stick. got bit oil split out from the inlet. it tis means life spend of the GB almost finish?

dear perdana sifu, i looked at mudah and there's one perdana with evo 3 engine. the price is around 30k for 1995 model.

in your opinion is it worth it?

and there's another version which is much more expensive (50k) with the same engine but a newer model (2002)

which one do you think is better?

is performance between these two are the same? what about reliability issues with the 1995 model? higher maintenance maybe??? i'm confused...

hey guys i reaaly need your help. i am a student and planning to get a second-hand perdana. looking for yr 05 or newer. the price would be somewhere around 50 k, right ?
if i plan to sent the car for overhauling where can it be done ?
do you"ll know any reputable perdana sellers ?


thanks in advance

hey bro. curious bout ur posting. y u have a planning for the engine overhaul? just go n find a used car lot or private seller with a tip top engine & GB will do. v6 engine is long lasting bro. accept the GB only. but if u dun whack it then will b fine also.

milage purpose

would like to ask bout all bro here.

if our Perdana Foglamp put in 100w H3 bulb. will it coz the headlamp cover get yellowish easily?

performance wise, same if the parts inside the evo3 engine is stock.
if got modifications, then not same la.
handling wise, depends on the suspension and other mods that has been done such as adding strut bars, anti-roll bars, etc..

reliability is mostly depends on the engine and gb.
the body structure still kuat. maybe got to change the bushes only.
but beware also of rust on body or undercarriage.

can overhaul at proton service centres or any workshop for that matter.
but why do u want to overhaul?
u might just need to do major service, if the car already hit 100K km mileage.

i dont know any reputable seller but i do know a reputable workshop. (its where i send my car to be maintained or repaired)

ps: i got a fren who wants to sell his white perdana 1999 v6 twin turbo manual...

to all my pv6 brothers out there. need some advice. I'm thinking of changing my springs to Eibach but i'm thinking maybe changing the Shocks to maybe GAB with springs would be better. I travel long distance and i'm on standard 16" rims. Just want something not too hard but still comfy but with better handling la.
