    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    The Cat D GTS is back once again. I can only assume there's something inherently wrong with this car (aside from the obvious) as it always seems to reappear for sale again shortly after selling...

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    I gather it's been through auction a few times this year, but not made enough to sell. Reserve has been lowered this time though.

    The Biturbo's time will come. Values are already on the rise as recognition for these cars steadily increases. I'd say that features on programs such as Top Gear and The Grand Tour will have helped a little too. However, I reckon there will always be people who turn their noses up at the Biturbo...

    I recognised that reg straight away - as far as I'm aware L308 RTP is the only other RHD 222 4V in the country. It must be a minter as its MOT history is almost spotless (don't judge me, I was bored and nosey one day!)

    Ghibli II winter works

    Nice work Spacecadet. Are you going to replace the flywheel central bearing too? I'd say it's worth doing while you're in there, though when I replaced mine it was a little tricky to remove. I ended up mocking up a tool using a steering wheel puller which gradually dragged it out.

    A Breaker I Think....Not a Project......Shame!

    Hello Dave, Yes, that's me. Although, my December article is to be my last after writing for the magazine for four years. Following repeat problems with my 164, I ran out of things to write about really without repeating myself in each article. I sold the Q4 in November, and bought a 916 GTV...

    A Breaker I Think....Not a Project......Shame!

    This makes my project look like a walk in the park. Would those tints be legal? Not that the tints will be the worst of your problems with this car...

    Sachs 3082308431 clutch pressure plate - 3200 GT, Ghibli II, Shamal and so on

    Hi guys, I have the above pressure plate for sale, brand new in the box (box has been opened). Looking for offers around the £170 mark, so about £50 cheaper than other examples on eBay. I'll include postage to the UK in the price, for postage outside of the UK please provide some details...

    93 Ghibli on Pistonheads

    Regarding the headlight, I know that Maseratispares.com have begun reproducing the glass in polycarbonate. I think the price is around 600 euros +VAT each, still not cheap, but better than paying well over a grand for a new headlight. You could also try David Askew.

    1995 Ghibli for auction

    The first kit looks very similar to the one I bought but I think it's the 240mm Sachs kit, whereas mine is a 235mm Borg and Beck kit (as far as I can tell). The second kit certainly looks like it has the 3200 release bearing so must be the 3200/Shamal kit. I'm trying to help somebody else on...

    BiTurbo's i am starting to hate mine

    This Iveco pressure plate looks extremely similar to the one on the right of your picture; there a couple of subtle differences but this again makes me think they have sent you the wrong part...

    BiTurbo's i am starting to hate mine

    Hmmm I'm not really sure what to make of this, it's a bit of a head-scratcher. As I said above, it really doesn't help that there are several variations of size and manufacturer, which I'm told aren't meant to be interchangeable, and yet based on the clutch removed from my 4V they must be...

    1995 Ghibli for auction

    Spacecadet - just found this, any use to you? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MASERATI-GHIBLI-SHAMAL-EVOLUZIONE-3200-CLUTCH-KIT-/122145533984?hash=item1c7070f020:g:RiIAAOSwTA9X4qdu&vxp=mtr Edit: and another, a bit more pricey but won't incur import charges so could work out cheaper...

    BiTurbo's i am starting to hate mine

    Based on my experience so far in finding the right clutch kit for my 222 4V, I would say this kind of thing is inevitable. I now have what I think is the right kit for my car but this involved lots of head scratching and checking of part numbers! It seems there are a few variants available in...

    222SE Oil light

    RHD Biturbos of any form are very rare. Let's see some pictures!

    222SE Oil light

    As above, I don't think the two are operated by the same switch. Perhaps the pressure warning light has failed and reverted to being permanently on (by design) so that you know there's an issue, rather than it failing and giving no indication at all that there may be a problem. I may be...

    1995 Ghibli for auction

    I don't I'm afraid. My 235mm clutch kit arrived this morning, aside from a small ae (?) logo on the pressure plate and 'Borg and Beck' (a familiar company) engraved in the release bearing, the kit contains no other discernible logos or part numbers for reference. There's nothing at all on the...

    1995 Ghibli for auction

    I decided to leave the idea of the 240mm Getrag clutch, and bought a 235mm kit instead. The following 3200 GT release bearing appeared on eBay the other day, still a bit pricey for me but somebody else may be interested...

    1995 Ghibli for auction

    Hmmm that is rather reasonable. The release bearing looks extremely similar to the Sachs bearing but I'm viewing this on my phone so maybe I'm mistaken.

    1995 Ghibli for auction

    There only seems to be full kits left, whereas I only need the release bearing (I've sourced the pressure plate from elsewhere, and my car uses a slightly different friction disk to the 3200 despite sharing the other parts). I suppose one option is to buy a three-piece kit for a 3200 and sell on...
