    Maserati Ghibli II V6 2L - Simulator data

    On the japanese cup, it's 3.45. On the GT, it should be less, 3,25? In 6th gear, at the same speed (130kmh?), the rpm of engine of my ghibli GT 2.0 was 500rpm lower than the one of my cup. The front anti roll bar is different between the 2 cars. The ride height is different too.

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Yes, it was the ghibli primatist of Cedfred, Frog3200 is the owner of the racing and it's my shamal you saw between the two. A missed opportunity to meet, arf, next time. :confused:

    A Ghibli II with a V8….

    I don't think so, the head upper covers are different (no trident next to the maserati logo, individual coils...)

    A Ghibli II with a V8….

    Wow, what a strange machine. There was (is) a few V8 ghibli made, mainly in Germany (modena-ebersold did some) using the v8 from the QP4. I wonder where is the engine coming from. It looks they took the manifold of a 3200gt but the engine seems to be from a shamal, not a QP4 or a 3200. And...

    3200GTA 2002 Fuel pumps

    Hi @rs48635 I had the same problem with my shamal (I bought it as a non runner and had to do a lot of work to make it run). I used this kit and it works perfectly. https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/fuel-pump-alfa-romeo-nuova-spider-3-0-v6-walbro-itp004 I'm sure it will work with the...

    Buying 3200GT AC advice

    A few of our french members (on maseratitude) already used their service. It looks perfect to me. There are quite well knowed in the lamborghini world too, they refurb the control arms of the gallardo (it seems it's a weak point too). You don't need to refurb all the arms, they can make an...

    MC Victory vs Gransport

    I compared the part number of my gransport MCV with the one monted on the gransport 10th anniversary (japanese special edition made for Cornes, a lot of them are in Europe now). The 10th anniversary is probably one of the last -if not the last- gransport made (it was released on April 2007)...

    3200 VIN 2001?

    Easiest way to spot a late 3200gt is to check in the engine compartiment if the secondary air system is present. It looks like stainless mushrooms. A vin ending by 3822 is probably a late 2000, not a 2001 (I think the modification was around de vin 4500). In fact, it doesn't really matter...

    Biturbos/number cars/Ghibli IIs for sale

    The japanese cup came with a slightly modified eprom, increasing the boost (not so much, 305ps @6100 rpm, torque is 43.5kgm/3650rpm). The final gear ratio was lowered by 6%. I have no idea if the same modifications were done for the 2 (or 3?) RHD 2.8 cups. About that, I've read that the RHD 2.8...

    Biturbos/number cars/Ghibli IIs for sale

    @Maser73 I had both, a ghibli GT 2.0 and the 2.8 cup, and I sold the GT. The difference is really night and day. Of course there is the massive torque surge of the 2800cc but I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the final ratio is shorter on the cup (about 6%), it really speeds up...
