I'd go back in time and convince Nissan Australia to stay here and make some very important changes...
1: Build the R32 Skyline here rather than a facelifted R31 (and onwards to R33 and R34)
Model range: Base model R32 with KA24E, Main-spec RB30DE, Fully import GT-R for halo car
2: Ignore the Button plan and make Holden accept CA16DE's and CA18DE's in the local Pulsar rather than crappy, old tech Opel engines...
3: Since we have Skyline now, drop plans for the U12 Pintara and replace it with locally built S12 (and then S13, 14 and 15) Gazelles (All running IRS)
Model range: S12's basic engine KA24E, Sports version CA18DET, Luxury version VG30E
4: Don't import the 300ZX as local S12 covers that market
This'll massively improve the locally available performance car market and will force Ford and Holden (plus Mitsubishi) to lift their quality and technology. Local production will be healthier and more relevant cars'll be made here meaning we'd have a vibrant, sustainable local manufacturing sector in Australia continuing up to 2015 rather than the death of local manufacture that is currently the case.
