    Tyres

    I put the GY eagle F1 3 in March last year... Wow, what a terrific change ! Silence, comfort, grip, confidence in the wet (to a 3200 GT extent tho... lol ) and also better pricing than other manufacturer for the last UHP Tyre Generation.

    Wishbone Wednesday

    Hi everyone, I am a bit lost with all threads on wishbone and arms... My mechanics are telling me that the rear bushes are bad, that might be the cause for my heavy vibration after 140 km/h. I see that superperformance provides many bushes, but I don't get which one are needed ? and which...

    Loss of power 3200GT

    This engine has always been running on 10W60. VI is an oil additive that improve viscosity when oil is set to get thinner. The oil pressure improving especially at hot idle. Bardahl is providing good ones.

    Loss of power 3200GT

    All, Some update on this. No more issues with oil pressure, + 3 bar at idle and 5 bar at speed. Manual check on oil pressure and measurement of endfloat ---> OK. What a relief ! Power fully available after cleaning all pedal pot connector and ecu connector. Seems like hot summer, south of...

    Worthless GranSport

    Mine has reached 157 775 km last sunday, with engine being 116 775 km ! Turbos are 47 000 km old. 3200 GT with some CEL, but nothing for the last 4 000km. I just need to have the oil pressure and end float measured, otherwise it is okay. First drive on heavy rain, with Marangoni tyres at their...

    Loss of power 3200GT

    One of the screw between red cover and cast iron is loose. Can't access it and tighten it. I think it is the oil pump screw

    Loss of power 3200GT

    I have always been beyond 2.5 but recently hot idle is sometimes around 2 bar. I also hear a strange noise like a whistle when starting the engine, after 2 minutes the noise is gone. I think it might be the oil pump if located on the left side. This left side has some oil over the Maserati...

    Loss of power 3200GT

    Just noticed now some oil on the left side of the engine. On the black box with 3 small pipes and on the cover as well... Need investigation to find where this is from but that could explain my fairly low oil pressure at hot idle.

    Took a drive yesterday. 130 km of mountains road... What a machine !!! All power available, ASR on out of each corners ;-) Temp was 23c against 30c in the previous ride. It is far better. Only oil level blinking in fast left corners... I was topped up, might be something else

    Loss of power 3200GT

    It is a LHD 3200 GT, and I'm 4972km away from it for the next 2 weeks ;-) IMO, this blue connector links to the ECU. Maybe.

    Loss of power 3200GT

    Under the passenger's carpet there is a blue connector with at least 20 wires linked to it. I have cleaned it with contact cleanser and attached to a metal piece, so that it won't shake when driving.

    Loss of power 3200GT

    Update to all : No issue for 3 days since I cleaned the blue connector below passenger carpet. NO CEL or limp mode, but ODB2 still say Throttle pedal postion error or misfunction. But No symptoms As said by Davy, no connector available, then only way to measure voltage would be to cut the...
