This seemed to make them stand out much more with so many skylines and supras buzzing around. Plus you need to be doing well in NZ to justify an Aussie car .
I think the New Zealanders don't understand the difference in owning an import here. With this new turbo falcon I'm even impressed with the offering the Aussie market is getting now.
I don't know why I am getting offended here, usually I am bagging the aussie cars.. nissan do cars so much better and the recent release of IRS in the VT commodores (such new technology!!!) and the engine technology offered is a joke, but it isn't as viable here to drive an import here as there is a marked depreciation difference between our import and Aussie built cars.
Speaking of depreciation.. how much is a $20,000 car worth in 3 years time in NZ... lol
Still the fact you can walk in and buy a factory backed new GT-R for $80 or $90 is pretty good. (too bad its work $50,000 when you drive it out of the showroom). And the 200sx we get here is a joke compared to the 185kw version from Japan....

What about when the supercars came over to Pukekhoe (? spelling) just a few weeks ago. Pretty fast taxis!!!!
These taxis are now doing better times than the works GTR's were doing ;-) Cheers,

P.S
Bathurst is a total JOKE,,supercars Ha ha holden and ford DONT MAKE SUPERCARS.THEY MAKE TAXI'S.
-----Help me,
Don't get me wrong - I'd buy one if I found one for sale - but
what is so special about a P510SSS ? Let's face, they're NOT a
Falcon GT (where stock original is worth more than modified and
big name people invest mega bucks in them). All I see is a couple
of small SU type carbys on an L16 with a bit more compression and
a great looking dash. Interior is nothing special, wheels & brakes
are the same, same floor shift 4 speed as the standard 510 etc..
I am aware of supply vs. demand, but even in today's special
events such as Targa Tassie and Classic Adelaide, Datto people are
calling their cars H510SSS with L18, even though they are P510s
(originally fitted with L16s).
I see some of these bullshit prices floating around for
P510SSS equipment that's not that special and yes I'm confused.
Rick, are you missing the SSS rocker cover (with three full ribs)?
Maybe I didn't quite pick it up in the photos. Nice original find
anyway.
