I like the Australian scene! All the cars are tastefully modded and there's no beat up cars everywhere. I notice in Australia and Japan the cars are usually in better shape because there's not a lot of place to drive around compared to the US.
I also like the song. I haven't heard that mix of Teenage Crime before.

Haha well part reason OUR cars are clean is cos we import from japan...
Most australian cars which are sold in Australia from new are generally not well cared for.. They have telephone numbers on their odometers... Faded paint.. Dents don't get fixed etc...
Most... I'd say about 80% of those cars are jap imports... So that definitely helps keep these particular cars looking nice
I dunno what it is about japan.. I swear that place is a time vortex... I mean how the hell is my 14 year old black original 202 black soarer STILL have mirror shining paint is beyond me...
My friend Josh is currently importing a gx71 chaser... 1986 build.. Google gx71 shakotan
It literally looks as if it's rolled off the factory floor today. Seats and carpets are pristine...
61,000km on it!!!
Like I said... Japan is a time vortex...
We are lucky in australia to be able to import cars.. I feel for you guys about not having skylines or s15 etc...
Like YEaH you get the sc300 but there's no 1j

Jintei- yes and no...
Parts like south Australia are strict on power mods... As in can't have them.. Adjustable coilovers are illegal..
Victoria has a law that allows you to have Either a pod filter OR a fmic... Cant have both...
Sydney are strict too...
... But here out west in perth...
Generally provided you don't do anything stupid like drag race or rip a burnout... The laws here are fairly lax... I mean if we got defected all the time then none of us would have those cars!!! It's mostly hype..
Queensland on the other hand.... Those guys... They are like the Mexico of Australia.
Over in Queensland... 700hp car.. 20mm off the ground.. Screamer pipe. External atmo bov... Engine swaps.. Getrag box... Candy paint... 19x12 +0 offset rims...
NO WORRIES MATE !!!!

Wow! Nice video, I dig the song too..
I was about to comment the same thing. Not a single one of those cars was riced out, cheaply done, or beaten to death. ALL of them were properly done! I think I'm gonna have to move to Australia as well..
Funny story actually, while I was visiting Japan last year the only other white dude I met was from Australia, and apparently big into the car scene. He was visiting Japan solely to go drifting with Team Orange in Ebisu. Apparently he had his own shop back in Australia and was gonna hook me up with some custom coils. WORST part is that when I lost my phone when I got back I lost all his contact info!![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Anyways, point of the story is, you Aussies really seem like you know what you're doing
