The RA28 GT & GTV's had 18R-G's in them but weren't available to the public in Australia, However there may have been a few brought over by toyota for testing purposes, and the odd private import. The local RA28's were blessed with the 18R-C boat anchor.
You may be able to find a GT (GTV) in Australia but yes they tend to be worth alot more that an LT. For example a clean stock LT probably wouldn't fetch too much more than 4-5000 tops, where as there was a standard GTV for sale recently for around the $17,000 mark and I doubt you'd find a rebuildable GT for too much less than 5,000 unless it was just the body. then again I might be wrong but I can't find any...
