i reckon people are getting smart about the whole import situation............
originally driving an import was a fairly unique thing, but the last time i was in OZ there were lots of skylines about (i saw 4 at an intersection late at night, little traffic about, not a cruise they were facing different directions) so they're not anything different. they have a rep for getting flogged so mechanic bills are high and they're a target by cops, theives, holden bogans at the lights and vandalists. for many they're simply not worth the effort when there's a lot more discreet motors about with similar performance but less trouble attached........
if you include the price of repairs and defect notices they're not that cheap............
