Hi N Welcome Bud
I don't know if ya would be better off looking on the Aus site.

1. Here in the UK most things can be got.

2. Swings n roundabouts really compare these..

3. Depends what size tank ya got, some claim 55l some 66l or 75l "long range tanks", mine personally 65litre tank = 430 miles

4. Over here in the Uk ya can pick a really clean 95 up for £1500 - £2500

5. You bet !! Although some 3.0l have had heads go !!

6. Yes..

7. Spend some time browsing through the site, Aus site too..
Hope this helps n good Luck
Jess

If it is of any use to you,I have a 3lt 97 ssrx and paid £3300 2 years ago for it.I drive it pretty hard and use it to carry tools and sometimes timber/sheets of ply etc I have not really off roaded but have certainly had it at abusive angles!! It gets serviced regular and hasn't cost me a penny on parts or has so much as a weep in the engine bay so just get one!you will love it!!

Agree with all of the above, except for price, which will be wildly different in Straya because you pay much less for jap cars and much for european cars than we do, which I guess makes sense.

You're very welcome here and you can keep on asking questions, but these fellas may also be able to help, and be awake at the same time:
