I brought mine over in 2006, so not sure how much costs have changed since then... this is what it cost.
shipped over in its own container by "Ocean Sky International" ph: 3890 6800 or www.oceansky.com.au $4,125 inc.gst.
Quarantine clean and treatment on arrival $429 inc. gst.
Customs import fees, which are based on the amount you paid for the car, and you need to provide an invoice as proof (I paid roughly $3000). so should be less than that.
Insurance: $450 (I phoned a broker for this as the shipping company was something like $1800 for the same cover). It only covered it while in the container, so as soon as it is on the back of the truck in oz, get the shannons laid up insurance.
Think that was all, there is another old thread on here somewhere about it..

Look up Cargo Care, (just did it for you)
http://www.cargocare.com.au/
Guys name is Klaus Wermwuth
Tell him that Chris From Clark Equipment gave you his details and he should be able to give you a VERY competitive rate.
either that or try a largish firm like Cornish international, Tristar shipping are in NZ but liase with Cornish to get stuff accross.
Klaus would be my choice, he is small enough to help you out without passing you to 5 different divisions etc.
You need to look at how you are getting it here, because it doesnt drive you will probably need to throw it in a container.
The costs then get larger because you need-
container hire
container delivery to the guys house
Sideloader hire (loading unloading the container)
Then transport for the container back to the wharf
Then shipping fees and insurances (incase the boat sinks etc)
Then any import duties
Then paying the freight forwarder
Then unloading the container etc etc.
So it does work out pretty expensive.
But ring Klaus, (he has an accent) and have a chat, he should be able to sort you out for a reasonable price.
Cheers,
Chris

Two years ago when I was looking at bringing my hatch over to Auzzie it was going to cost me $3000 roughly landed in Brisbane, however then I would need to registar it and that would have meant pollution control gear NZ cars have none, new quiet exhaust and fix up all the bl&*)) oil leaks, my car wept oil from everywhere, I had the engine out a dozen times it still wept oil, and then I am sure there would have been other stuff as well like enginering all the mods and the like so it would have been a very costly exercise. I sold it thinking once I am setup here I would buy another Hatch, still waiting to get setup 
Only suggestion I can make is look at Kiwi companies that expot cars as well as Aussie companies I wouldnt be suppised if you find a kiwi company that is half the price of aussie one, in the past I have done stuff like this via american companies ans saved heaps
good luck
