my house get v6 as company car too...since 1999..
really quiet and comfortable this car... test top speed can only go 170-180 and even that haf to off overdrive(3rd gear)... despite proton say it can go 205kph... no way i think !
proton shud replace this car... too old .. i mean its a flagship proton but dash and stuffs are lagging behind waja which is cheaper car, even odometer also oldskool use analog... airbag also tarak.. no mp3 player..

Hello everyone, im a V6 2002 owner. I fill up fulltank with Vpow for RM 120 and drive 381 km. izzit normal?

i was juz thinkin.. wat u guys do?? if u have a 50+k budget, would u get a 2nd hand v6, or sumthin new, say like a new persona hi-line?? its roughly the same price..

i dun own perdana. but for that money the idea that i hav in mind will be.

buy 2nd hand 1996 perdana SEI for 25K.

and do these mods :
*6A12TT (turbo charged mitsu engine)
*better brake system
*better suspension system
*rebuild chasis (remove rust, strengthen it)
*install bars(for better handling)
*improve comfort more (install sound proofing)
*refurbish interior with V6 interior leather
*and of coz the most important is new V6 bodykit
*bling2 rim(optional)


all those mods how much ar? close to 25K? or more? if more lower it by remove unnecessary.

hihi..just a noob idea from noobie

i might be wrong, but
from what i know, it needs a mounting modification when transplanting 6A12 into Perdana SEi
and also for ter-ans-pelanting transplanting 4G63 into Perdana V6

i thought 6A12 and 4G9x family share the same mounting, no? owh....sory if im wrong

what's the normal cost for this on a Pv6:-

1. full service to change timing belt + items + labour ?

2. top overhaul?


coz thinking of doing 1 and maybe 2, by end of this year...suspect some white smoke ommission...hmm

my mileage is already 90k+...guess i need to do the timing belt soon

oh..another thing...just got a used pajero oil cooler from chop shop for rm150...wanna do mod and install it as an atf cooler for my v6 but not sure which workshop good for this...and for the hose, how long should i buy?

some good links or price quote is appreciated


thx!

I`ll be doing the timing belt changing next tuesday. if you wanted to know the pricing maybe i can pm you after everythings done.
my mileage is 76k and the mechanic advice me to change cause if too long the timing belt`s material will get harden due to long time working and heat.
So when it snaps then you need to leave your beloved car in the garage for a week. better not to risk it.

i`ll be changing quite alot of thing and adding in some parts.maybe i will update this later when everything is done.
i had just add a zaptor voltage stabilizer and decarboned my engine. feels good after that and i hope to see some more difference after changing timing belt

Sorry to interrupt,
My father owns a 2nd hand perdana V6 (yr 1999)

Just want to ask, actually what is happening to P-V6 during 4800RPM??
Is that a something like Mivec or what?

u can always feel there's extra sinsible power to pull the car forward right..? i was wondering about it as well....feel kinda nice...

Added on May 10, 2008, 10:23 pmAnyway..i guess it's not 48000rpm....normally it kicks in around 3500rpm...

Are sure about the top speed? I've tested it and can go more than 170...this is a stock car.

Wow, 56k? Why the SA quoted my father car around 43k? this is last year

Looks like the FC is a bit high...My father car 2003, for full tank usually can go more than 500km. In city can cover around 400-450km.


For 1, SC said more than RM 2k....

Let me know the pricing also...the car already reach 98k km, also need to change the timing belt. BTW, a few weeks ago, I met a perdana( with the same spec and year), already clocked 275000km....WOW! dont know where the owner travel with his car....hehe

Err, what do you mean? I think this pv6 engine doesnt have anything like mivec.....

yeah guys...if u know the price for the timing belt change or top overhaul..do pm me...

perdana 275k??

hehe...used to own a honda eg8 b18c before this perdana...when i had it, the mileage was nearly 250k...when i sold it, it was about 305k...so yeah, for honda...400k sure no problem one....i heard some older hondas could go until past 500k...then maybe the meter reset...hahah...cool huh?

so yeah...i hope the perdana shud have no problem bypassing 300k mileage....

read in the papers that day one car forgot what brand mileage already 700k....

and read somewhere also that more mileage means that the engine is good...it's more dangerous to buy an old car with low mileage since the car might not have been optimised properly...maybe engine a bit rosak inside...so yeah...dont be scared with high mileage!

3500rpm ah? I thought that is where the initial rpm after the car downshifted (from 4 to 3 i think)..
try use the "Hold" button at 2nd gear and try to reach 4800rpm... (3rd gear or 4th gear also can, but that time already above 150km/h lor...)

Guys please help me here, let me explaint the problem i facing now.

I replace my v6 with a new battery during CNY. Until recently i cant start my car, and the alarm go off. (a sign that the battery is weak and flat)

so replaced v6 batt yesterday, but today i couldn't start my car anymore! before this i keep seeing the battery warning icon keep going on and off after i changed the batt. And i can clearly notice all the light within the meter is dim even the head lamp could't shine as far as it is, the digital clock is not bright. I realised that it may not be the battery problem, but maybe the alternator.

I'll like to know how much does a alternator cost in the market?

beside that what other possibilities could have causes my car not being able to start?

is it advisable to buy a perdana now that the fuel price sky rocket? are there any cars which offers the same comfort, power , second hand value as the perdana but consume less fuel? FYi, my budget is approx rm40 k..

any comments about waja, elantra, sonata? come close to perdana but consume less fuel?
