    3200GT Only hot air!

    From one problem to another. Noisy fan cleaned and solved, but still the problem with hot air always, even in max cold setting. Did forced reset, showing AA and 00, so everything should be fine. But only hot air…..anyone ideas? Btw: aircon NOT active yet, system has to be re gassed.

    Gransport variator circuit accumulator

    Years ago i mounted an oil prelube system, as some of you may remember. My Gransport only runs very occasionally, so it is nice to see oil pressure being built even befor the engine is running. Meanwhile, some of you (and me) where investigating the occasional rattle at start up, even with these...

    3200GT exhaust manifold crack?

    When cold, exhaust gas can be felt and heard near the rh manifold. I think i can see a small crack also.... As soon as it warms up, everything is all right. Is this a known problem, or am i just "lucky"? Taking it off, engine has to come out i presume? Or is it possible to get it out without...

    Strange noise lifting throttle after turbos boosted

    3200GTA, first drives after years. When driving spirited, occasionally the noise of a mooing cow occurs after lifting throttle. And no, i am not making a joke :) It is as if boost pressure is leaving on a place where it should not. The engine is a later version with the Kaiser Valve near the...

    Petrol V6 went from 5W40 to 10W60, why?

    In the later production years the F160 V6 engine got 10W60 oil advice. Maserati states, 5w40 spec engines (earlier production) should NOT USE 10W60! What was mechanically altered in the later engines, what made it possible (necessary?) to use 10W60 oil grade? I checked and compared partnumbers...

    Granturismo visual inspection?

    For years now I am thinking of buying a Granturismo. Just because it is the most beautiful car ever made. Had doubts every time again, especially about letting our mint Gransport LE with boomerangs go for it. But the Gransport stays, despite the fact that it is little more then a museum piece at...

    Battery drain Gransport

    After searching this forum for possible causes, but not finding the real culprit, I decided to go the “fuse delete” route. No succes. Then I realized, that the factory alarm would have some kind of back up somewhere in its circuit. Maybe thát part of the alarm also was responsible for the...

    The difficult way, flaking chrome air vents

    Machined from aluminium on a latch, machined old vents, glued the new rings on them. First round of polishing gave good results already. The little conic form brings a little more bling.

    Group buy brake discs question center bore

    A few years back I bought a brake disc set for my Gransport in our group buy at that time. Now, while reconditioning the front suspension, I wanted to mount them at last. But, when I put the disc over the centering “nose” of the wheel bearing, I notice that the center bore diameter of the front...

    Gransport wishbones, hub clean up.

    Even when a car does not run for a few years, suspension parts deteriorate due to oxidation. Time to act. Bought a sandblasting cabinet and got working. First and most important problem was rust at the outer ends of both springs. After sandblasting and powder coating the springs, they got crimp...
