1 - R32's, R33, R34, S15, S13, 180SX are probably the most common imports here. There are literally GTS-T's, GT-T's, GTR's everywhere. If I try to buy anything from a parts store here, chances are It's easier to get N1 blocks for RB's then it is 1JZ parts. SR/RB's are fucking EVERYWHERE.
2 - WRX/STi, all the way from GC8 to current abortions, Shit loads of Soarers
3 - Evo's, mostly from 6/6.5 onwards, however earlier model Evo's are slowly popping up. Subaru Liberty's (Legacy for the rest of the world) S14 Kouki and Zenki
4 - Fairlady Z models, Supras
5 - (Basically what's considered rare here) C34/C35 Laurels, 81/90/100/110 JZX chassis, A30 Cefiro's, DC2/DC5 Integras, CRX's, S2000's. Honda's by a long shot are the minority here.
Mind you, while imports are common, there's lots of Fords/Holdens here, Utes are very popular.
Regarding laws, there's a bit of a pet hate by the general public for modified cars in Aus, which is a real shame, we've in the last few years become poster boys for everything that's wrong in larger society. It's very easy for the government to ignore real problems and get on our case about doing skids in industrial areas at 3am. My mate did a stationary burnout at 1am like an hour out of Perth earlier this year, police were hiding nearby, car got impounded for a month, had a court appearance etc nearly lost his license too. The bullshit thing is, drink driving and general bad driving habits are the real problems here, but the government is more interested in dishing out speeding fines then improving driver training, purely because it's easy to make money that way.
