Seems most of the e version is better spec'd than the local [except for the wheels perhaps]! Such an awesome project, really enjoying this.

that covers a few issues with the Japanese imports, how to overcome some of them, plus reading the comments gives a good insight into the pricing New Zealanders are paying.
