Dear NeuroOne,

Seems like you know stuffs about car. Please feel free to answer my noobie question.

I inherit my dad v6, it's approaching 200k now, and curious if I need to do major service. If yes, what to change? I mean, I just changed engine oil and filter, other than that what else?

regarding previous question, I suspect wind sound as it starts produce sound after 140kmh, and when I slow down, the sound stop. if it's a wind sound, then how to fix? 

Dear Omnipotent,

I read your previous post and you did some stuff to your car. My questions are posted below.

1. ATF cooler (immediately after taking over)
Old PV6 (not alfa design) doesn't have ATF cooler? How much did it cost you? Planning to get one to protect my GB - no it doesn't. about 300 (2nd hand unit)

2. 7 point earthing (immediately after taking over)
No idea what it is, care to explain its function? - did this cos my previous waja had earthing problems. 7 main points in the engine bay are properly earthed (alternator, transmission, engine block, etc.) to avoid electrical disturbances affecting each other.

3. Pivot Blue Raizin VS
Why do you need voltage stabilizer? Does it improve overall performance of the car? - stabilizes the voltage in between the spikes caused by a/c condenser switching on/off

4. Michelin MXV8 (still running on it after 60k kms with 40% tread left)
my PV6 is still doing fine with its tyre. Just changed it, and it costed a bomb. - saving up for Premacy LC. Anyone thinks i should go for Bridgestone GR-90 instead? which one is quieter?

5. SACHS Advantage all round (making noise now after 60k kms...need to replace soon)
How do you determine shock absorber fits your car? Does any shock absorber fits any car or must have spesific lengh etc. - the manufacturer will indicate on the box what car it fits.

6. Autofoam Track Package
Auto foam??? foam? No idea what is it.  - filling up the empty cavities in the chassis with automotive foam. acts as an invisible rollcage (as advertised). not recommended in my opinion.

7. LED trunk, footwell and puddle lights (DIY) - as hobby to make my car look more premium

8. Hella FF75 Driving Lights - to improve visibility at night

9. Osram Nightbreakers (used 3 sets, burns out every 9 months as I drive early in the morning to work and late at night from work daily)
10. Retrofitted BiXenon Projector headlights (DIY)

Mind to explain how you chage your car headlight? Mine is the  old one, and showing annoying-yellowish on the cover itself, how to clean it, I mean, how to take out your light and do the cleanign. I saw pins that fit the lamp to the car. Do I need to just take out the pins? - the yellowing is on the outside. no need to take out the lamp. there are a few plastic cleaning agents you can buy off the shelves to clean it. may not work if the yellowing is too severe. i have an extra set of original Koito Japan headlamps which i took out from the car when i retrofitted my HID Projectors. they are in very good condition and no yellowing. if you're interested i can sell it to you.

Thanks in advance for your help. Appreciate it, and I'm learning about cars from here

btw, does 1 bottle (4 litres) of engine oil enough for normal perdana v6 oil change service?

anyone feel nauseous in a perdana? i do

i think it's bcoz of the leather seats....

alaa.. JBL replica only.. haha..
cost about 240..

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)

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.

my headlamp modded to PROJECTOR. already running on HID set. now thinking of changing to normal halogen light. so would like to check it out bout the socket problem.

well if your car is stock, you can consider changing your brake pads only. by changing that itself improve the braking power a lot.
i bought my set of brake pads from one of the forumer here.. cheap and performed up to my expectations..

did ur projector encounter road block b4??

u can try search for brembo max disc.
or other disc brands such as brembo (normal), improve, odaka, maxtech, lemburg, etc
but i donno the condition la coz u said that u change to bosch also prob arises after 10K km.

u using 4300k or 5000k? coz mine abit quite white. but the seller claim tat is 4300k. 

i have been using the car for years and i have no problem with my stock disc..

its either your brakes pads are in constant contact with the disc or you drive like a mad man... lol

getting you brakes checked out perhaps can help you solve the problem
