Rac33r...

Sprinter's are not hard to find, but hard to find in good condition. The biggest killer of them is rust, so you need to know what to look for.

THe problem with importing them is that they are quite popular everywhere.. finding one in Japan at a decent price is near impossible from what I understand.

The jap and aus specs are light years apart. If you are looking for something fun then I'd stay away from the 4AC model unless you plan to spend a fair bit on motor and suspension. The aus spec has crappy brakes and diff compared to the jap ones.

The 20V motor is not all that expensive to buy, but its not a straightforward conversion to RWD for the sprinter. Do a search through the forums and you should find lots of info. Bang for buck the 16V is a better conversion.

HTH
