Have just spied a nice grey UZZ32 currently listed on the Japanese Yahoo auction site. The car is in Japan.

I have
found a page on the NZ LTSA website which states that this car complies with the 2003 law-change to do with frontal impact standards. This car may be an import proposition to NZ (I stand to be corrected in this however).

I have no idea of Australian rules?

My japanese translater site says it is a 1991 model, done 115k, has one small scratch and the starting bid (0 bids to date) is 115,000yen (US$4090). The TV is inoperative, but it has the flash HID headlight kit.

There is a 10" lcd display above the dash with a speaker/mic beside it, probably an aftermarket talking navigation system, perhaps even voice controlled?

Click here for the listing.

And here are the photos......

Scroll down a tick Bruiser and you'll note that it says "No" in the column that says "Complies with NZ Frontal impact Standards." Sucks because we know it's all good but not much we can do about it. I notice that no UZZ30s comply at all either.

Except for the fact that you can't register it

That is unless you can somehow get a Statement of Compliance

While it's doable, not really a economical viability

Ehh, for what it is and especially in Japan for a 1991 auto.. its a bit high priced. I wouldn't pay much over $3000 USD for it. I know it sounds like I'm kicking it in the dirt a bit, and I'm sure its an awesome soarer.. but being lived there and seeing the auto market do what it does there. That is a bit high priced for what it is.
