Well there are the frontal impact laws - which means no pre 1996 Japanese imports can be brought in and made road legal ( cheers aunty Helen ) But i am sure you can still bring them in as parts or race cars you just cant make them road legal. Surely there must be a loophole if a car is over 25 years old?

It is all good. This from the Infosheet on the LTSA Website. I have highlighted the bit in question in Red and Bold.
Before you ask about infosheet 2.08 for exhaust emissions - if the car is manufactured before 1 Jan 1990 or it is for Motorsport use only then the emission rule/standard does not apply.Section 2: Importing passenger cars (Class MA) from Japan
Class Description
MA (passenger car) A passenger vehicle (other than a Class MB or Class MC vehicle) that has not more than nine seating positions (including the driver's seating position).
Note: A passenger vehicle is a motor vehicle that is constructed primarily for the carriage of passengers, and either has at least four wheels, or has three wheels and a gross vehicle mass exceeding one tonne.
A Class MA vehicle is defined as a passenger vehicle (other than a Class MB or Class MC vehicle) that has not more than nine seating positions (including the driver's seating position).
Be aware that your vehicle must meet the exhaust emissions requirements set out in infosheet 2.08.
If your vehicle meets the requirements in infosheet 2.08, you can continue with the following process.
There are three flowcharts for Class MA vehicles. If the Class MA vehicle you want to import is more than 20 years old (based on the date of first registration anywhere), go straight to the ownership flowchart. Otherwise, work through the flowcharts in this order:
1. Frontal impact flowchart
2. Other standards flowchart
3. Ownership flowchart.
You will need to read the supporting notes for each flowchart you use.
If you wish to import a motor vehicle to New Zealand, you may wish to check if it qualifies as an immigrant’s vehicle (of Class MA, MB or MC) or a ‘special interest vehicle’, in which case you may find it does not have to meet a frontal impact standard. The Fuel Consumption Information Rule also does not apply to these vehicles. Details are provided in Factsheet 44a and Factsheet 44b.
