    '99 3200 GT: Clutch pedal stuck, cannot shift into gear

    Been trying over the summer to sort some issues with the car, mainly concerned with the pedal potentiometer. Now that all issues, bar the climate control, seemed to be resolved, I figured I'd take the car to work before tucking it away into winter hibernation. After refuelling I accelerated...

    Adjusting high idle on 3200 GT (manual)

    Greetings to the board, Is there any way to adjust the idle beyond making adjustments to the pedal potentiometer? Car usually sees 1,000-1,100 rpm at idle, which I'd say is a bit high for a V8 (although a small volume one at only 3.2 liters). The cas already has both the contactless...

    Clutch replacement on 3200

    Greetings to the board, I've started to experience clutch slippage (revs rising but speed not increasing, especially on higher gears), and so I bought the 3-piece kit from Maserati Shed. Looks like top notch stuff! Now for my questions, could I expect any kind of workshop to solve the clutch...

    Dashboard "ERROR" lits intermittently

    Greetings, I'd appreciate some assistance on this one. During the last trip before putting the car into winter hibernation last year the ERROR light in the dashboard suddenly lit up. Didn't think about it too much about it at the time since the car was anyhow being put away for a while. Once I...

    3200 GT cam/timing belt change

    Greetings to the board, Time has come to change the cam/timing belt on my 3200 GT. Car has done about 15,000 kms (~9.5K miles) since last change, but it occurred six years ago so it may be time nonetheless. Due to the fact that we have only two certified Maserati workshops in the country...

    Mondial d'Automobile 2014

    Greetings to the board, Long time, no see for my part as the car's been immobilized for almost a year and a half (been busying myself with the GTR instead). Anyone on here that wants to meet up on this year's Mondial d'Automobile in Paris?

    Some carbon bits

    Recently bought myself a '00 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS as an additional daily drive. True to my habit of not being able to keep any car I buy in standard condition for a long period of time, I immediately sought to modify it in some way and struck a good compromise between fun, reasonably cheap and...

    My 3200 GT hard to start

    Greetings to the board, One problem after another these days it seems. The day before yesterday I filled the car up with a full tank of fuel (don't know if it's relevant other than that's when the problem started) and from that point on it has been a pain in the **** to get it started...

    Quick help needed, missing a pipe on back-side of inlet manifold

    Greetings, I find myself in the need of some quick quality assistance. My car is due for MOT at 11:15 tomorrow, and it's the last available time around my area until the 14th of July so I don't want to miss it or there'll not be much of a car season for my part. I just replaced a faulty...

    3200 GT inled hoses and coolant drain

    Greetings, I'm in the process of ordering some new silicone hoses for the engine bay as I will anyway be replacing the ones under the intake plenum when I replace my knocking sensors. Looking into the engine bay I spotted some cracks in the inlet hoses going from the intercoolers to the...

    New website I'd like to tell you about

    Greetings to the board, I'll start off by saying that Matt/Conaero has kindly agreed to letting me post this on the forum. I'm not sure whether this would be the correct place to post it, however. Some of you may have seen the links in my signature that points to a Swedish website called...

    Buying advice for a '03 Spyder CC

    I have finally managed to persuade my father, a petrolhead in his younger days, that owning a Maserati is a right act that one ought not to cheat one's heart out of. Accordingly, he has his mind set on a very fine looking Spyder CC. He has given me the task to seek some buying advice as I'm...

    What's the story behind your username?

    As per the title, I'm curious about the reasons for people's usernames on the board. As OP I'll guess I'll go first... Alecci is an ancient Latin form of Alexander and it's derivative Alexis. Alexander is my first name, so I thought it would work well on forums as it's both shorter and...

    How to remove side window trims?

    Greetings, I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to remove the side window trims? One of mine has had some of the black paint peeled off since before I bought the car and it has started to irritate me enough to finally do something about it. I first had them both wrapped in...

    Contactless TB and PP

    Greeetings to the board, Where would one preferrably get one's hands on the contactless throttle body and pedal potentiometer and what are the approximate costs/prices for these? I'm aware that the latter part are currently in what seems to be some sort of "evaluation phase", but it may be...

    Solution to the thrust bearing failures on 3200 GT's?

    Greetings to the board! I don't know whether this topic has come up before, but I'll give this a go nonetheless. I'm not currently suffering from any thrust bearing issues with my own car, or rather, at present it shows none of the symptoms I've seen associated with this issue, also called...

    Suitable rear spoiler for the 3200 GT?

    Greetings to the board, Having owned my precious Maserati for about a month or so by now, and with the car off to winter storage I'm keeping myself busy planning for the future. As there are not really much aftermarket parts to go around, I guess I'll have to resort to universal parts when...

    Greetings from Sweden

    Greetings to the board! I thought I'd introduce myself a little bit by the means of a proper thread instead of turning other members' ones off-topic. As you can tell from the thread title (and my profile) I'm from Sweden. I'm 31 years old at the time of writing this and I've recently gone...
