 Awesome cars in NZ

Hi Guys,
Well I'm in NZ at the moment, and the cars here are amazing! They are cheap and they have models that we have never seen in Australia!
Models like Mid 90's celicas that are GTR's with 4WS and a 3S-GTE's. Lots of Levin's GT-APEX and Treuno's(speeling) from what appear to be mid 90's. Even the Cornona.
In a net cafe, have to leave, will continue this message next time I get in a net cafe, gf wants to leave

Hi,
Yeah, it's not a pretty car.
Good ol' NZ.... see what sort of great car you can get, and the prices they are, when you don't have your own car companies that require protection traiffs.

Hi,
Did you see Tarry's (TMAX) old school RA28 in the NZ Performance Car magazine? Nice car. He says that the old classics are indeed rare beasts over there. Hell, they're getting rare over here too.

when i was in NZ - all i saw were Skylines - FXgt corollas , and bloody MILLIONS of legacy wagons ( gt ones )
im sure every second person in NZ had one of these 
My favorites though was the WRX i managed to drag race and beat in a pissy 1.3litre corolla hire car ( phear the 3afe! ) - and the st182 Celica driver with the HUGE ralliart sticker on the side of it who i politely told " your a Fking tool mate - its a toyota - open your Fking eyes ! "

believe it - it happened
was funny as all hell
never comes down to power VS power - it comes down to dickheads not knowing how to get a rex launched - and being taken by the gayest of all corollas
you could beat a rex on a Bicycle if the tosser behind the wheel cant get it off the mark

More of an update, althought I dont know how long I've got.
I'm quite keen on the Caldina's and Caldigs(I think), they look bloody awesome, I can see why Wagonist likes them so much. Yes there are a lot of Skylines here And those Legacy wagons are also pretty kool. Another car I see a lot of is the Mitsub. MMC GTO, it's actually not a bad looking car.
I'm assuming the import rules from NZ to AUS are the same no matter what, so it's the same 15year import rule. I could get a 1997 Caldina, 5 spd, GZ model for $8000 with 26,000Km's it should be illegal!
There are even these wierd things called Corolla II's
Anyway gotta go again....

 We dont get many 1JZ Cars over here, so better off going to your local supplier.
And i think you mean Caldina and Carib*** Its basicly a AE111 chassis but station wagon body, Good news is that you can get a 20v black top 4AGE verson Quite nice cars.
And I own a Corolla2/Corsa/Tercel........ its all the same chassis. Its basicly a Starlet chassis and motor but they come in 1500cc to 1300cc, sedan to hatch, early 80ties to late 90ties. Mine was $5000nz for 1997 Tercel, 1500cc - 5E-FHE 110hp grunter, 5spd, ABS, A/C, P/W, P/S and only 70,000kms. Nothing specail but it gets from A to B and cheap on the gas while I save for a AW11 to build up.
Their mainly USDM spec cars but become quite popular in the JDM market. Theres alot of 4EFTE turbo swaps and also alot of modified SCCA race ones. Ive even know of one to run a 165hp n/a 5EFHE

Yea Carib....it's hard to read the other car names moving at 120km/h
I've decided on the car I NEED to import from NZ
1998 Caldina GT-T I've no idea what engine it's got, but I'm kinda hoping for a 3S-GTE I'll need to do more reasearch when I get back to OZ.
Even better I hope we have the odd Caldina in OZ...hmm time to do some searchin!

Yes, 3SGTE manual or auto 4WD.

How hard is it to import from New Zealand? Anyone have any experience or links to any sites with the legalities of the matter?

When I was there I saw heaps of Mitsu Liberos - basically a Lancer GSR Wagon (T4) and Mitsu Legnums - again a Galant GSR wagon (TT V6). Very nice indeed.
