Just wanted to post a big thanks to John from www.importbitz.com who imported me a Levin which had a original cost of $4300 before all the other costs of importing, in total I think it will cost around 8500-9000. If you want to see my car goto this link for pics,

all the specs are here,
engine is high KOMPU specification - High compression
block AE101,
piston AE111
head AE 92,
cams IN304 and EX288 highness cam - Intake cam 304 degreed Exhaust cam 288 Degrees
adjustment cam gears - Adjustable cam gears
0.8 metal gasket. - Aftermarket Replacement head gasket prolly TRD
The strengthening clutch - Aftermarket Clutch
SUTATASO Rex 44phi carb
Fronts are [ 10kg front spring, 7.8k rear in a GAB damper] - GAB damper adjustable and prolly short stroke shocks
high-pitch for GX71. - GX71 Coilovers prolly
Both wheels are Longchamp approximately. Rear is a little deeper.
DIFF -- the product made from TRD -- since it is 1.5WAY(s) TRD 1.5 way mech diff
An exhaust system is 60mm
EXHAUST MANIFOLD
The cooling system has stuck the oil filter remote mount - remote oil filter mount
RAJIETA has stuck the low TEMPU thermostat normally.
Interior is the quick shift made from TRD,
and a steering made from MOMO - TRD Short shifter and MOMO Wheel
Omori water temperature and the
oil pressure meter,
a 10000rpm tachometer.
John has a very high level of knowledge about importing and cars in general. When you are importing a car probably the first thing you are concerned about is how reliable and honest the person is. In this case i have found John to display these characteristics profoundly.
If you want to import a car give him a call regardless what state you are in. He is located in queensland and im in melbourne and the whole importing thing worked fine.
And finally, everyone knows him, so hes not going to run away with your money lol
THANKS A HEAP JOHN

Nice car and should be a lot of fun....
In reply to ILUSZN's question - in my experience of importing AE86's this car will not meet ADR standards. The carbies will have to be taken off and the original computer and EFI gear fitted. The carbies do not meet EPA requirements.
It is wise to check all these requirements before importing to save all the hassle. Any car can be imported but getting it on the road is the biggest problem! Not many importers will tell you this.
However it shouldn't be too hard to fit all the EFI gear just a bit of mucking around.

In response to what pro K was saying, about the car not complying with ADR standards because it was a carbi instead of EFI.
I was able to get an engineer's cert. for the car, and im in the process of gettin the roadworthy,
so im a happy chappy

No.
Carbs can make as much power as EFI if tuned right.
But carbs are more difficult to tune and go out of tune, where EFI doesnt.
