    Same here! Had a 4200 dash on mine since the leather shrunk. Looks perfect!

    3200 Thermostat

    Actually all the thermostats produced are produced as fail safe ;) How many 3200 GT's do we see with open thermostats? Basically all used ones. How many cot stuck closed? It's the spring inside that pushes the thermostat open. The wax filling prevents it from opening. Until it fails.

    3200 Thermostat

    Rather not. It is constructed under the fail-safe principle which means in case of failure it gets stuck open.

    Saving a 3200 from the scrap heap!

    I would have a new aftermarket (but high quality) windshield for 500€ in Austria. But I assume, sending it to UAE would cost a fortune.

    Engine Oil for the 3200

    To what I read was that Maserati had a contract with Petronas which in 1998 only produced this Selenia Racing 10W-60 Oil. I'm also using a 10W-50 Ester Oil instead. The Selenia Racing engines I had opened, all had black dirt in their cylinder heads. I can hardly imagine this does any good to the...

    Any tips on how to remove turbos

    Shouldn’t they come out with the cylinderhead?

    Any tips on how to remove turbos

    I remember these 3 bolts were a true pain to remove. Each bolt needed a different approach to remove. For one I had to build a special tool out of a 8mm Inbus which I had to move with a box wrench. BUT: I did not need to heat them up. A loud ping and they went loose. Mounted them with heat...

    Window with mind of its own!

    So it goes up and then down when you open the door? Just a little bit of describing the issue might help solving it

    3200GT origin

    Funny thing with Japanese is that they prefer exotic cars to be LHD as it boosts the status of exoticness.

    4200 coupe boot release glovebox button not working

    There is a relay in the trunk next to the battery that prevents opening while the engine is running. If it is stuck, it won’t open. Try bridging the contacts with a clip to try if it works.

    4200/GS alternative space saver from a Mercedes SL R230

    A spare tire will do its job even in 30 years, if you don’t leave it laying around inflated with 4 bars for several years.

    Front Tie Rod removal

    Holy ****! That’s some serious stuff! I never gave the advice to hit the carrier. Just on the rod! Bing bong and out with the rod. No X-Ray or scientists needed to be involved in this action.
