I have to chime in here to up the percentages. Mine a N/A but I love it all the same. If your after parts and you have some time it's still cheaper to buy parts from the US even with shipping. I bought several oil filters, air filters & fuel filters from Paragon recently they were about 1/4 of what they sell for here.
All of us Sydney guys should arrange to have a quiet beer sometime.

I am the proud owner of another 951 in Western Australia. I hardly see any 951s, but there are a few around. Starting to see a few LHD drive ones being imported from Japan. Prices are cheap if you'll drive on the "wrong" side.

My car was originally delivered to Hong Kong and owned by a commercial airline pilot who also owned a 930. When he was transferred to Australia he took the car with him, and with 94,749km on the clock and a couple more owners in between, it became mine 2 years ago. I think it is absolutely fantastic!

Anyone else in WA?

I thought the Japanese drove on the same side of the road as us? All the imported silvias and skylines, etc seem to be RHD...

yeah, but the Japanese consider it more prestigious to have left hand drive, and as far as I am aware they'll even pay a premium for the privelege/inconvenience.
