    3200 restarting after stall. Immobilisor?

    Can someone confirm if the fact that my 3200 needs 30 seconds with the ignition off after stalling it before it will restart is a design feature or not? The same applies if I turn the car off after a run then try to immediately restart. It occurs at any time after the car has been running for...

    Wiring question...

    I have a misfire on my car I am trying to resolve. It started after i removed the inlet manifold for which I also remove the injector and coil wiring. Now I think I may have found the problem, but I need someone to verify something for me. This all relates to the bank of cylinders on the...

    ANyone had a 3200 turbo hose blow off/split ever?

    Was the hose on the pop off valve (4) in this diagram had disconnected from the the inter-cooler to throttle body pipe. All fixed now. Cause I think was a jubillee clip which was not tightened.

    ANyone had a 3200 turbo hose blow off/split ever?

    I can't find it peering in the bonnet from above. Its not any of the hoses which disappear behind the headlights from the throttle bodies, and I'm pretty sure its too bad to be the plate under the inlet manifold. I had the manifold off a week ago and all was fine and dandy then. Its a very...

    OK, but to keep this on topic, for a 3200GT what is the procedure to get the spare black key able to start the car?

    New Key

    Hmmm, My spare key will operate the alarm but not the immobiliser. I have the red key and the main key I use to drive the car. Both these keys work as designed. What is the procedure to get the spare key able to start the car? Also, I have loads of docuemtnation, bills etc for the car...

    Assy Number vs, VIN Number

    On my car have have a VIN number ending in approx 3400 and a "Code Number of Spare Parts" on the Vehicle ID plate (under the bonnet) of approx 4600. Is this the number from which I should figure out its age? It was UK registered in May 2001 and was built on the same production line as the...

    Oil and other 3200GT liquids

    Having given some input into the antifreeze thread in the tech fixes forum, I thought I'd express an opinion here for your comments: It seems that all of the specified fluids for use in a 3200GT are a little old in terms of spec. Petronas I fear are making top $ selling us products which...

    Coolant/Antifreeze - Gransport

    Red has all the positive properties of Paraflu 11, but is available at Halfrauds. Paraflu, like Selenia Racving Oil is actually a really old spec. Despite being blue in colour, Paraflu 11 is not Silicate (IAT) based, so it cannot be topped up with regular Blue antifreeze. The red stuff is and...
