guys what mounting should be used for rvr auto conversion on PV6? drive shaft?

 

[DanzEterna]

on pv6, the rear mounting need to be fabricated, that is very important, becos is your engine is senget u will keep changing your driveshaft every 3 months. driveshaft use evo or pv6 ones that also depends on your foreman on how expert he is.

 

[EGNINE]

TQ Danz, rite now got problem fitting the mounting on gearbox and cross member, engine side ok, rear need to modify as u said, i'm sure my foremen know what he is doin , just want to double check with u guys

 

[wsonny]

Found out my problem, plug oil seal need to change, plug cable need to change and the plug as well.

good plugs costs bout rm360 iridium ones for 6 pcs, if under budget platinum ones will do. bout rm200++.
workmanship is expensive, could costs rm160++ depending on workshop.
but I suggest u do it all at once, change timing belt, water pump, spark plugs & plugs cable. will take the foreman bout 8hrs. some require to leave your car overnight.

I used bosch fusion plugs - cant remember the price, if not mistaken less than rm250 & bosch super sport plug cables rm150.

Wah! Platinum also so expensive? Mine only RM50 plus for 4, so 6 should be only RM80.
Even Iridium was like RM140 for 4....

 

[wsonny]

I change to brisk sliver plug cost me RM55pcs. Change plug oil seal, head gasket and plug cable. Total include labour RM800..... This month cost me 2k to repair this monster

Silver is softer metal than Platinum and Iridium, however they conduct better electricity. They are said to be performance plugs but not durable.....

v6 can use cheap plugs unless u know how to remove the intake to access the rear plugs. that's y last time I supposed to ask my fren to customake the intake so I could access the rear plugs without any hassle, but unfortunately sold the car.

That is what I mean, since difficult to change plugs better use Iridium. Izso STD having same problem, or I heard even worse to remove...

I have changed a new condenser, new cooling coil, service aircond & recondition my compressor that costs me bout rm600++ for perdana.

 

[wsonny]

I had change aircond fan motor cost me about 300. Then one of the pipe leaking, change tat cost me around 180. Now suspected compressor or the condensor giving me the problem. I had refill 3 times of the aircond gas cost me 100 over.

One of the foreman said I hav to change my faulty digital screen coz can't see the correct temperature. Now is a rare item to search. And the sensor also.

 

[DanzEterna]

I bought the motor fan bout rm150 only, can DIY summore. but the fan is quite noisy cos its a high speed fan.
new condenser costs me rm260.

screen there are 2 types , full button & dial type (evo 4,5,6). the price does not differ much, sensor is quite a headache to find.

 

[wsonny]

The fan they brought new cost me around 200++, at JB im new there so no choice hav to paid. Then now found a Malay workshop which they modified car more so hope they expert on perdana as well. In kl I should b no problem wit this.

 

[DanzEterna]

v6tt is quite a straight forward engine, when it comes to normal wear & tear replacements parts its similar to v6n/a.
does not require to go to those modified shop, unless u gotta tune your car

 

[wsonny]

Just sometime might meet some of those foreman assume to b expert on this n giv lot of comment.....

If need refill means you got a leak somewhere. Condenser seldom give problem. Air Con leak majority are the cooling coil and compressor. Then the joints, hoses, receiver drier, expansion valve.
