yap bro

 

[doraemon98]

ohhh... i dunno the price. Just a feeling that old junk for that price is kind of expensive.

Dun you guys worry, I will post whatever findings on A33 here to share. Our car is aging...

 

[weikee]

doraemon98,

You be surprise the price from old junk sometime more expensive than new one. FYI, some old junk are much more reliable than the so call NEW made in Malaysia parts.

 

[seizai]

supply less = price high

for wear & tear part i prefer new coz worry 'die' half way on road...

 

[weikee]

seiza,

Most wear and tear i buy brand new original nissan. As long not APM i am happy.

For fan motor, alternator, even radiator it last longer using chop shop parts cause original Nissan are sky rocket price. The quality is much much better than the local apm units. e.g. some local Radiator install in nissan ckd (think is sentra) are not aluminum mainly made from copper. I yet to see A33 radiator so i can't comment on A33. A32 is aluminum.

[weikee]

my personal view, is a piece of crap.

Other than APM, what about aircond components? Any better brand prefered?

 

[weikee]

not sure about newer nissan, my newest nissan is a fatty A32, the A/C compressor and cooling coil are from japan.

One thing i don't like in nissan is the A/C are not really reliable compare to other build. But so far Nissan A/C compressor don't take so much of engine load cause it use rotary (hence is not so reliable compare to piston driven compressor)

 

[sb3]

I dont have any problem with the A/C compressor or any other A/C components in my car. And its running fine and as cold as the north pole icy winter. But to my understanding using a rotary compressor would last longer than the conventional type as it will not stressed itself during WOT? (Or engine load?). As far as I can remember , my fatty aircond last longer than any other cars i've own before.. (without any repairs except for the climate control panel).

 

[weikee]

the rotary compressor don't take lots of load from engine, but after few years of use it will make noise. cooling performance still not that good (at least for my standard), i always put till 18 even at night cause i like real cold. The one car that really chill me is the old proton saga, the dam denso compressor are super good.

just like house a/c, the piston driven are more reliable, but the rotary are more efficient. can't have both.

 

[Garrett]

me too....scared to use APM products, nightmare.....

 

[doraemon98]

Unsure about A32... But A33 A/C compressor never cut. The compressor will run long as your A/C is on and the engine is running. It only cuts when you floor your accelerator to gives you the acceleration power.

bro weikee know very well on A32. Just like online mechanic in the forum. So bro... any advice for my A33 front absorber?

My front left side stock absorber getting weak. Thinking of sending it to repair in nibong tebal. But in the other hand, I also thinking of replace both of it to somewhat more comfortable (soft) in town driving but stiff enough without compromising handling capability while speeding in highway.

Any advice bro?
