Now coming back to rc 17 years later i have really been surprised that the majority of items are actually quite a bit cheaper now than back then. Not too many things in this world get less expensive over nearly 20 years!
I don't know about Australia or early nineties but in 1999 I got a brand new Picco Integra with a fantastic Picco motor AND pipe/manifold all for 479.99. Can't get anywhere near that cheap now, even staying with the budget stuff.
Tires were about the same though, maybe even a bit more expensive.
