G: 2.41 M Yen (about $31K)
GT: 2.79M Yen (about $35K) -> This is roughly an FR-S mono spec equivalent
GT Limited: 2.97M Yen (about $37K)
Ignoring the bare bones model track model (prolly wont be sold in aus)

Better way than direct currency comparison, is to compare relative car prices in both markets (ie. to account for us always getting jipped).

Civic type R: 3.00M Yen (Japanese RRP)
Civic type R: $39,990 AUD (Australia RRP)

Assuming the pricing difference is the same in Australia, then RRP would be about:

G: 2.41 M Yen => 39990x2.41/3 = $32,125 AUD
GT: 2.79M Yen => 39990x2.79/3 = $37,191 AUD
GT Limited: 2.97M => 39990x2.97/3 = $39,590 AUD

(RRP - before dealer charges)
