Don't bother bringing a US spec model to Aust.
I know that is not what you wanted to hear, But the Aust model is a better car. Glass headlights, a REAL AWD system not a FWD with rear assist. Not worth converting to RHD.

Come on down, buy an Aust mod get it converted to manual transmission, get a Ozze shop to fit a turbo. There are guys down here that still know how to fit anything into anything.

We are flooded with second hand Jap engines, transmissions, brakes. You can even get a 'front cut' car with all the working bits still there.

May be you would like any of the Nissan GTR's that have been here for yonks. WRX's have been here since 94, buy a couple of them.

You don't know what you have been missing over there.
