well... i don't think it is possible to get a new ek9 anywhere mate.

u could only get second hand ones. but ek9's are quite rare so... good luck finding one.. and if u do.. hope u have the money for it lol.

and how do i know this.. i use to want an ek9 but i realised they are just too rare. and i found one going for 27k.. so screw that crap.. i rather get a jdm dc2r then an ek9. it's faster and cheaper as well.

it will be hard... unless u want to live in a coutry which has EK9 available and own the car for a car... importing though as personal import...

You could try the EP3 cause it's listed as available to be imported though SEVS, however the question is who could get it for you.
the price is also another issue, with EP3 and all the extra cost importing it, you might as well get your self a Type R instead..

Do i get the EP3 thru an importer? Any specific ones in brisbane? I understand the costs involved but I still prefer the EP3 over the dc2R, and theres already heaps of DC5s running on the roads... might as well get something different. A conversion is too troublesome too.

umm....u can't get brand new EKs anymore.
do u mean the EP3?

You can't get EP3's yet either unless its a personal import. No one in Australia complies them yet, but they have been approved for import.

So unless you plan on living in Japan for a year and doing a personal import, you got no chance until someone does compliancing for the EP3.
