Hi guys, My news is unfortunately all bad. The water pump sheared its mounting and threw the timing belt a few teeth. As a result, bent valves, damaged pistons ad perhaps rods... As the car is going to be for sale after the repair, I'm going to put in a used engine as the cheapest option...

Hi Guys, As I have accepted a job overseas, the 3200 is being sold in the next couple of weeks. I have a set of silver Gransport rims in excellent condition that were going to go on the car but now will be available to anyone in Oz who is interested. These are 19 x 8 and 19 x 9.5 and will fit...

Apologies for the cross post but can anyone confirm that the 4200 and GS take the same wheel bolt? Eurospares website seems to indicate that they are the same but would like someone to confirm before I go and order a set. Regards and thanks, Neil

G'day all, I've been fortunate enough to find a set of GS wheels for my 3200 but as you all know the the existing wheel bolts are not compatible with the GS wheels. I'm looking for a set of 4200/GS wheel bolts in good condition, preferably the stainless ones Stuart was selling a year ago...

Quick question guys, what's the pipe diameter of the 3200 exhaust system? 2.5" or 3"? Thanks, Neil

Before the inevitable reference to rocking-horse **** comes up, I'm hoping to find a set of Gransport rims in good condition. Any colour will do but Grigio Mercury is preferable. Tyres are optional but will consider a set of Pirelli PZeros if they have good tread left. Shipping to Perth...

Wanted: 3200 Carpet securing clip I'm looking for one black carpet securing clip for the 3200 mats. I cannot get them through Eurospares and my local dealer cannot seem to source them either. I'm hoping someone has a spare or knows where I can find one. I'm in Perth, Australia and can pay...

Hi all, I'm looking for opinions on whether the 3200 and perhaps the 4200/GS needs more rubber on the road. When cornering in the dry I can spin up the rear wheels with little effort and unless i'm in sport mode which allow some slipping, the ASR kicks in and all progress comes to a halt...

G'day guys, I'm in the process of doing an interior refurbish and my mats are looking a little tired. Has anyone sourced OEM quality mats with the trident logo stitched on them? My carpets are the pale gold colour so obviously the mats would need to match. Thanks, Neil

Having used "ledlights" great DIY post to read the DTCs on my pre OBD car, it has found a P0353 Ignition Coil C Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction and a P0130 O2 Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1 error. I recently replaced both O2 (lambda) sensors so I am surprised to see this error. Is it...

Hi all, Like most owners, I have been chasing CEL's for a little while now. I had the throttle body replace with a contactless upgrade and that fixed the limp mode associated with the CEL's. I also replaced both lambda probes which got rid of about 50% of the frequency of CEL's but still I...

Hi all, I thought I'd share a new detailing product that I've just applied to my car... As my wife will attest, I'm quite fussy with the paint on my car and have a cupboard full of various waxes, polishes and sealants etc. I spend a fair bit of time on keeping it looking as good as a 10...

Hi all, I've been following the thread about lowering the ride height on standard suspension and I am planning on tackling this during the week. Does anyone know which size hook wrench is required to adjust the spring collars on a 3200 GT. My car is a 2000 model with electronic adjustable...

G'day guys, I'm looking at a second hand set of late model wheels as found on the ACs and 4200s. Does anyone know if the wheel offsets are different? Photos of the ACs look as if the wheels fill the arches out a little more than the older 3200 wheels or am I seeing things wrong? Thanks...

Hi all, I'm at the point of shopping for a performance exhaust system. The Larini looks like an obvious choice but I'd like to know if anyone has the centre section with the de-cat pipes and standard rear boxes. For the performance benefit the back boxes from Larini are very expensive and I'm...

Well, the Italian electrics are doing their thing... Central locking, which I'll tackle in another thread. More pressing though is the aircon blower has stopped working and the temperature readout is showing the dreaded snow flake and four dashes. A week ago the temp read out would throw up an...

Hi all, This will undoubtedly polarize opinions but at 1200 GBP for the Assetto Corsa centre console, this was a reversible and far less expensive alternative to see if I like the look. The leather centre console was a little tatty around the edges where the radio had been removed on...

I'm looking to have my original 3200 wheels refinished in a darker colour. The car is Ferrari Rosso Corsa and I like the idea of the Grigio Mercury... or perhaps even darker?? Anyone have the same combination or have an opinion to share? The cost is relatively minor and hopefully will...

Having spent most of Sunday cleaning and conditioning the leather, I've now started to tackle the "sticky bits" with a view to removing the coating. The most noticeable of these is the auto shift indicator plate on the right hand side of the leather gaiter which is badly wrinkled and very sticky...

...and left behind his sleigh! Still coming to terms with the fact that there is a red Maserati sitting in the drive way!! Here are some pics after giving her a bath. I'll have plenty of questions over the next few days so please bear with me if you've heard them all before. Regards...
