Are Integra Type R's rare in australia?

hey guys, my name is Allan, im from New Zealand
im just wondering about what performance cars are available in ozzy.
i always hear that in australia, there a lot of laws that limit modifications on cars.

yeah it just got me thinking.
well a few weeks ago, there was a australian guy looking at my friends Euro-R accord. he came out of the house to see 3 ITR's parked up outside on the road. all 3 are modded ofcourse.
his expression was like WOW WOW!! look OMG! 3 of them!!
type r's are really common here, theres probably over a 100 of them in the small city of auckland :eek:

so yeah, just out of curiosity how often/hard is it to spot a type r in ozzy?
and if you own a type r, post up your car :)

see them all the time :) but they are spread over the country instead of in one small area :P

oh ok, so how much are they worth in australia?
say for a 96spec with 90kms, average condition.

I mostly see the DC5 shape now days.

Not sure about the 96 model, but you can pick up a 99 model with 50kms for about 25000, but thats AUS spec, not JDM.

and you can get DC5R's for around the 30000 mark

Let us not forget that NZ DC2R's are jap spec are they not? The Aus spec DC2R's are very different in appearance. The guy who got excited was probably also excited by the fact that there were 3 JDM DC2R's. I would do the same thing if that happened to me - they are rare in Aus.

JDM = rare in aus
Dont think i have ever seen when driving around

Type R - Aus Spec - see three everyday on way to work

again with the JDMs....*yawn*

lol
if i saw any integra for that matter im like wow

there were no 96 typeRs imported by honda
only a few float around as they were privately imported

there are also a few rebuilds, mainly in vic tho

oh... so you guys dont really get the JDM type r's?

in NZ, we have nzdm ITR's, which are basically the same as your round lights model.
there are hardly any nzdm dc2r models in NZ (excluding the nz DC5r, which really abundant).
most of our cars are jap imports.

and its getting harder and harder.

type r is a rare thing in the north shore...i go to tafe at hornsby and havent seen 1 at all...even when i go to work in the ct hardly see any...maybe the west has them all...

i live at monavale
i see a black Type R every morning and a yellow one is parked at newport :)

wouldnt mind a R

i live in burwood east melbourne i see one in my garage every morning. :)

sorry felt like being a smart arse.

tooshay
hahaha :)

whats rare is a type-r modded tastefully and driven by a presentable driver....

Yeah I wish our import laws and stuff like that was the same as in NZ. You can go there, apparently, get like a car over there for NZ$ 20,000 and get the same car here for like AU$ 40,000. And the NZ$ buys about AU$0.70 ! Ridiculous!!! It's all because we have Holdens and the government wants us to buy them or some sh!t like that. I hate Holdens.

it's a conspiracy aye skoota? :D

mate if you sell currency for $0.70 can I buy some please :)

1 NZ dollar now buys like $0.92!!! I wish it was $0.70

hahah then I would buy an EG6 so much cheaper!!

I have maybe seen 7 different dc2r's in Adelaide.. probably 10 dc5r's

They are pretty rare here!

It is a conspiracy toey :mad: . And as for my currency rate conversion - why do you have to be so pedantic??? Grrr.... Was exaggerating slightly dude. And it was not that long ago that the figures I used were accurate so leave me alone. :p

can't wait to get my dc5, sometime next year, hopefully it cheaper then
looking to spend about 25K.. LOL.. so im gonna have to look hard for it..

i reckon the dc5 type-r will hold up its value for a while, esp
when the next landing will be for the dc5 type-s ....no more type-r :p
