You may want to do a bit of a search there matey, there's plenty of this info around. The search button is right up the top of the page.

However, cause your new i'll be nice and answer some of your q's.

1> is there any that i can't drive on ps?
Any Sprinter that has had modifications done to it is technically ineligible to be driven by a p plater. Motor swaps, suspension, anything that requires a mod plate. If you are in nsw / qld / vic (?) that is.


2> are they a pain in the ass for a daily?
Not unless you have rock hard suspension in it, or the motor is running like crap.

3>what can can you compare it to performace wise? i.e a crx vtec yo?
All depends what motor is in it.

4ac = pedalpower
4age 16V = close enough in pace to a VL commodore, depending on how light your car is / work done to the motor
4age 20V = a little quicker again
4agze = spank most 3.8 V6 commos
4agte = sky's the limit.

This is not all 100% accurate.

4> dose anyone have more pictures on that levin thats dark maroon and body kited?

5> how much am i looking at for a levin with crap paint and good for a project.?

Paint won't be your main issue. Rust will. you're looking between $3k - $14k (which is very steep imo) depending on spec, powertrain and general condition.

A rusted out, crap paint, 4ac powered ADM (Australian domestic market) sprinter may set you back $3.5, while a minty fresh JDM (Japanese domestic market) Sprinter with tasteful but simple mods, 4age 16v, suspension work etc can be anywhere up to $10k+

6> any more info i shud need?
Yes. Alot more. Read up.

thanks heaps


You're welcome.

I have a worn out 20V engine that has a stock ecu but with my own intake and exhuast and before my efi had issues it could beat a 5L V8 commodor.

ah interesting, me not the Falca-dorre type I didnt know that. That explains why one of them put up an unusually good fight when I took one of them on once.
