I Might Have Gone Crazy

[Black Widow]

funny story, I only knew they were around the corner because when I was inspecting the masserati, one of their mechanics was thrashing the shit out of a customers ferrari, think it was a modena F1 (if that makes sence), the cheaper one thats about 5 years old now, then the dealer said yeah they service the exotics there.

I was visiting one of our sites for a few days, and on my lunch break went walking around and found that.

a GranTurismo left there one day...very nice

If your talking about the guy that does the ferraris, lambos, maseratis ect.... I bought the car around the corner from them. I went in and saw them, they look on the ball, offcorse they'll charge allot, i'm not fussed, no point buying a car and not being able to afford to maintain it, i'll probably take it to them but now i'm interested in the carlton mob just for comparrison.

I highly doubt most other mechainics would know what to do with them, ive looked at the engine bay and ive got no idea what i'm looking at lol, not as straight forward as a skyline.

I agree, that it'll be good to have a comparison.

Old style service

Old style workshop

Specialising in all Italian cars.

I'd just check and see if their expertise & computer setup is up to speed, not having a Mazza before.

Years ago, when dealing with father Tom, he even made up a front strut brace for me from scratch and charged $280 only after 3.5hrs

They do injector cleaning for the local Mitsubishi Service Ctr etc etc.

PS I've just called Danny now, and he says that all's sweet to service (or diagnose issues) on your 3200GT. Parts are no problem either.

If you do decide to call, I gave Danny our first names.

PPS I visited (albeit momentarily) the Maserati Service Centre in Modena Italy when there in '06. Took some pics of Q'portes hehe

Cheers T

post those pics up PLEASE Terry

[Wacky Dee]

you're definately loco for buying a mazza but atleast for a while you're gonna drive a rare sports car.. then when you come to your senses you can always jump into a r34 vspec I'd love to see how this car fares on the track .. or is it not going on the track ??

[Kujotk]

well its meant to go on the track, no point buying something you cant enjoy or atleast make the most of.... then again, my gtst still hasn't officially been on the track yet lol, just a texi and cruises, (alittle embarrassing for an SAU exec lol)

How hard could it be? I guess it has a cap up the top where you put the oil in and a plug down the bottom where the oil comes out

Do you usually have problems finding holes to put fluids in?

Jokes aside, it would probably be best to take it to someone with some kind of certification. That way if they stuff it up it is (hopefully) on their hands

no no noooooo!!!! I cop that from my gf aswell, not on sau aswell lol.

I havn't studied the books yet, it'll say it in there, should be obvious once ive been thrown in the right direction. main problem with these cars is theres so much crammed into such a small space... the skyline really has a massive amount of room under the bay.

anyway thanks for your support mat heheh

I think I mentioned the other week - this is a f**king great car. I love the attitude of a company that thinks their v8 doesn't make enough power so they chuck 2 turbs on it. the later (boring) one is all ferrari driveline, this one is brilliant.

and gorgeous interior too.

might break down heaps, but at least it will look great on the tow truck

[Whoneedstherapy]

Is it the manual or did they come with the tiptronic?

I used to see a few as there is a mod in Leichhardt that specialises in Alfa's that services a fair few of them as well.
