Conjugacy classes of PGL(3, \mathbb{Z})

We know that every $2\times 2$ matrix in $PGL(2, \mathbb{Z})$ of order $3$ is conjugate to the matrix $$ \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{array} \right) $$.

I am interested in finding out to what extent this holds for $3\times 3$ integer invertible matrices.

In other words how many conjugacy classes of order 3 matrices in $PGL(3, \mathbb{Z})$ are there?
