Guys,
I've spoken to numerous wreckers about this and the overall consensus is
that the GST has had a negligible effect on the price of second hand Jap
import gear. The problem is that the exchange rate Oz$/Yen has crashed,
resulting in quite large price increases - so any old stock should still be
affordable, but stuff imported recently will cost ya...

Shit, you could probably get a SR20 Silvia for $5k... not that I mean you
should, but the markup on imported parts in incredible...
I understood that parts should have gone down because they only attracted a
22% sales (and not the import duty of low vol imports) so they should be
maybe 5-10% cheaper in theory.
Anyone know differently? this is going from old memory..

decent even SSS who I though always seem pretty expensive quoted $2800 still
a lot of money but is in the ball park with most other importers.
