Does Australia Have The Largest Amount Of Skylines Outside Of Japan?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

2 weeks in the uk and i didn't see 1 skyline....

2 mins anywhere in aust and i will see 23 r33 gtst's

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^Your not looking hard enough

Haha!!

what i meant by domestic market is the Local Dealerships.like Honda, Toyota, Nissan etc....

where people could buy imports of the same models for heaps cheaper.

so SEVS rule does have its advatages

local dealerships import cars under the same rules as private importers, which means prices are more competitive, etc.

basically they have auctions at the wharves when the cars land, and everyone takes part, dealerships, secondhand car yards and private punters.

its an awesome system. SEVS has nothing on it.

well could be possible

the car market in USA is alot larger than it is in australia. i wouldnt be suprised if they have more....

remember.......australia only has 21,000,000 in population. compared to USA's 320,000,000.

another country that has a high number of imports is New Zealand...

apparently they never had the SEVS rule... where you could openly import any type of vehicle....even if there are local models.....

which in turn i recall, financially damaging their own economy and domestic car market.

nuh Aus still outnumbers USA for skylines as they hav tighter restrictions on importing them there...but seriously u spot a skyline at least every 30mins in australia at least in sydney and melbourne...not sure bout otha states

In 98 NZ got rid of their tariff tax on imported cars i think only ones from Japan so all Jap imports became heaps cheaper. All NZ car makers closed down 20,000 jobs lost including mine (spraypainter @ Nissan ). I think there are more skylines in Oz but percentage wise you cant go past NZ. You see a skyline every minute literally..

yeah of course in NZ a V35 can be had for $10k.

are there even many local car sellers now? Would think there can't be that many, not that there was much of a domestic market anyway so they may as well concentrate on something their good at like sheep

if you read what i wrote previously in this thread......

what you said was EXACTLY what i was trying to tell people.....

but everyone just said "nah...oz......nah oz.........nah oz..........."

just because we see the cars here.......doesnt mean anywhere else doesnt have them.

yeah poor NZ during that period./...
