The R32 and ST205's were overpriced. If Nissan and Toyota were not greedy and had them at a reasonable price then they would have sold more.
You can't extrapolate the price of the then new car from the bunch of drift damaged 15 year old shitboxes that litter our roads.
The GTR starting price was $110K back then. I think they finished up clearing them out at $75K (for a loss). For about $180K, you could have bought a Ferrari 328GTS. A modified turbo Porker was about 60-70K.
If I was in that market, I'd have bought the Eurotrash and pulled bitchez.
Japanese car manufacturers understand their place in the Australian market - shopping trolleys, light commercials and 4WDs.
