what prob u have? judder? brake no grip?
how much u get for the twinpot?

my brake not tat really grip. few times entering corner also nearly bang ppl car. skimmed..new pad..flash oil..changed servo..also useless.
brake kit i brought RM350.

if brakes shudder then how ah ? Sometimes have sometimes don't. But when travelling fast and then press on the brakes then surely will shudder. Feels like the disc has problems. But then again my ABS sensor light is on and i haven;t the time to get it fixed hehehehe

try changing to better brake pads? i had the same problem but it seemed to have disappeared after i changed to a higher temp brake pads...

What u using now ? Bendix ?

To all vsixers, I am seeking for professional advise for my PV6 headlight. As we all know the current one is not that bright, very dim and not so good especially when in high speed.

How do I change or upgrade it to a brighter + can see longer distance + yellowish white color + non glaring (I don't want to hurt other drivers). I will have no problem to spend much on the headlight as safety is the first.

I am not quite expert on this so I would expect professional feedback and comments from professionals here

by 1st, u can try to install the relay kit to ur headlamp. so tat i can give more power to the light bulb to achieve brighter light output.
2nd, try source the light bulb which they claim got more light output like Osram Nightbreaker, Philips Xtreme & etc.

hope will help u out.

where can I get the relay kit?

it can b install at accessories shop or normal workshop also got.

the relay kit if u dun1 they supply u can try to get it from outside spare part shop.

I will try to look for Osram Night Breakers. By the way what is H1, H4 and H7?

foglight H3, headlight H4

for better vision, brightness:
- HID - but illegal in malaysia.
- go for headlamp booster - relay kit + better bulb. but with relay kit, the lifetime of your bulb will be lesser than normal.

yes. with relay kit will kill the life spend of the bulb.

SometimEs really headache, HID illegal but how come some new cars now come standard with it like the Navara ? Kena tangkap then how ah ?

Neuro: Care to share what you using for your headlamps ?

cars that has Xenon or HID factory installed are OK.
cars that retrofit HID, are not.

my car only use normal H4, Osram Cool Blue 5000K.
still not bright enough...

i think all sixer driver also feel tat the headlight output is not enough for them. even now i using Philips Xtreme also feeling poor. mayb will install a relay kit on it to boost more power on the bulb.

sumtime u c those JPJ get roadblock. they will tahan those Estima, Merz, BMW, Alphard & etc. dunno wat is the main purpose. but i think it should b the HID kacau gua.

your previous HID sold already? Philips Xtreme already very short lifespan (half of normal bulbs) if you boost it will be shorter still (if you use daily maybe need to change every 4 - 6 months)

this coming 1st Nov I would have used my retrofitted HID for 1 yr already. Almost everyday use (morning to work before sun comes out and night go home after sun goes down) except Sunday. So far got stopped once by police patrol car and once by JPJ roadblock but never got saman cos they were unable to determine if i was using HID. They stared at my headlamps for a few times then just asked me to show my driver's license. Then they asked me to go.

not trying to say HID is legal or difficult to catch but just sharing my experience (maybe i'm lucky so far) and I must say that driving with proper HID is really pleasant and useful when you are travelling at 120 kph in total darkness on a highway.

Added on October 12, 2010, 11:07 ami heard bendix kuat makan the brake disc so i was skeptical to use.

the spare part shop recommended me Trestor Advantage. This is the one i'm using now which solved the high speed vibration when braking.

i asked about the relay kit at the acc shop n the tauke said,perdana using a plastic cover .if add relay, the headlamp may got kesan terbakar..i dont know how to explain..is't true ?? what's the cause of water like embun in our headlight ?


n one more thing..i just called POWERZONE..they quote the price for extractor rm900 + piping bullet Rm550 ..muffler maintain..any comment??

Omni: How much is the Trestor Advantage ? Where to get ?

Any of you guys out there using Osram Nightbreaker, thinking of using that. Problem with our sixers is that the car is considered quite low (even when stock), wince most of us also lowered, the light distance will be much more affected.

i got it from the famous sparepart shop in Sea Park. RM80

i've personally used and gone through 2 sets of Osram NB. Slightly better than stock but lifetime very short (geram la need to change every 9 months) and when 1 of the bulbs kaput then visibilty lagi teruk especially when it kaputs beginning/middle of the week and you have to wait till weekend baru dapat beli replacement, so make sure you have a spare bulb all the time.

if you read through this entire thread you will find a post on my journey towards HID retrofit...
