Have anyone looked into bringing one over from there? Seems like theres quite a few over there and a fair bit cheaper than ours...worthwhile to do this or am I better off looking locally?

They are special versions incompatible with Australian petrol, can't be driven on your tarmac without replacing ALL the drivetrain and suspension components and anyway, the NZ Government charges a 1600% export duty on them so it's not really viable...
