hey you must be the guy ppl r talkin bout with the blue 33.

don't live in hobart myself so i can't really tell you... but i think eurotech mainly deal with old fiat's and alfa's

unfortunately i havn't seen your car around yet :(

I use Dave Griffiths. He seems to know his stuff although he is a little on the expensive side. Griffith's automotive is the company.

I believe matt rickards 350+awkw gtr also goes to him.

Below is a shot of my car, give me a wave if you see me :rofl:

Yep go and talk to Dave and he will look after you. If you think Dave is expensive then you obviously dont get around much as he is probably one of the most reasonable import mechanics around. You could give Howl Automotive a call as they deal with imports as well but i know who i would be talking too :(

I have been taking my cars (over the years CRX, 200SX, 300ZX, GTR) to Pro Automotive in Sunderland St Moonah for years and always been very happy. Andrew Kuc is the owner and is very good and now has a Dynologic dyno in a custom build dyno room. Is usually booked out two weeks in advance though.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
