I am yet to see a sleeper in this thread.

A sleeper is car car that looks stock on the outside (ie: NO EXTERNAL/COSMETIC MODIFICATIONS) but fully worked under the skin.

So all you guys with your aftermarket cannon exhausts, lowered cars, oversized rims, and fmic's, posting your car as a "sleeper" need to WAKE UP! :happy:

What the engine bay looks like has nothing to do with it, unless you drive around without a bonnet.

Ha, exactly! None of these cars posted are sleepers at all. Usually a sleeper is a car that you would not expect to be fast and/or looks like shit. All these cars posted here look pretty nice and most people know the potential that Skylines have.

Megalol at people posting GTR's up as sleepers...

That 323 above just looks DANGEROUS.... Ha, pretty cool though

Truth. Also anyone who fits "SLEEPR" plates or similar deserves a kick in the gentlemans' region so they can't father children.

The only sleeper in this thread so far has been the R31 Silhouette, very nicely done. One of my mates had an old white Toyota Crown with a 7M-GTE in it, and that thing was awesome. It left people dumbfounded that they just got chopped by a "stock" crown!!

i think that the sleepr title is lost when your rego is DSTROY :(

The funny thing is that when i take people at the lights, they are still shocked that i kick there asses, most people see the plates and still just think that its just a 32 GTST and not a RB26 GTS4.

But i know what you mean by a real sleeper, a mate of mine use to own this car and only ran stockies on the steet, 13B turbo, 280rwkw street tune and i think it did a 9.6 drag tune

so far, there have only been 2 sleepers in this thread, the 323 and the rolla above IMO. i cant make up my mind on the 31, on one hand it looks like a stocko 31, but on the other it looks like its got a standard VLT conversion, meaning it wouldnt be THAT fast.

to me a sleeper is something that appears slow, but is actually quite fast. i think its a joke if you believe any GTR is a sleeper.... seriously. "hey guys, look at my lamborghini LP640, completely standard on the outside.... noone know what hit em :("

and the cars with big polished front mounts, again, hardly sleeper.

this does 11's

R33 Gtst , I had just got the nitrous kit into it. Was running approx 150rwhp shot. I stacked the car into some kangaroo's before I had a chance to have a crack at the drags. 2rismo used some of the bits of my old kit to run 11's on a stock turbo. Everything on it appart from the exhaust looked stock.

Aussie R32 GTR with Nismo 700HP RS580 turbos / cams etc. stock look

Volvo family wagon in this guise only 13.8@101mph (with two baby seats and a pram in the back). Forged built up 308, shift kitted turbo 350 (mild stall) B&M quickshifter. Dana 60 LSD 3.5 gears

this one was fun to drive. I had a new cam, high stall & 250 shot nitrous kit lined up for it before I had to sell it :(

SPR-15E, very clever.. ;)

The only problem with rotaries as sleepers is most of them give the game away as soon as you hear them. If you had a very quiet exhaust on one then I agree, it would be a ripper. Re the 31, if you're right then yeah not that fast but if he's tickled it then it might be a bit more interesting :D

I used to have a Swift GTi when I was younger. Your brothers one with the turbo in it must be heaps fun to drive as the N/A ones were sweet to drive straight out of the box.

yeh bakes ive driven it here and there mad thrashy ahahaha ..... enjoyble but not as much as a gtr ....

even though i own a gtr. and posted it in here. i do agree a gtr can never really be a sleeper. but hey i thought i'd do it anyway.

though most people aren't expecting them to have as much go as they do. expecially the silly holden/ford drivers that think they are just shitty rice bangers.

i can't remember where or who but i do remember reasing about a VL with a rb26 and all the attessa gear etc. depending on the exterior that could make for something interesting

you talking about the one built by the guy at gibson motorsport back in the day? from memory it was a bit 'showy' on the outside, but again, even with VL's its hard to make a sleeper, just because of all the bangers at calder that run 9's lol

that 4wd was for sale for agggeeeesss too, coz he wanted like 150k for it.

The Volvo is a top 'sleeper' vehicle, as even people who are clueless about cars LOL at anyone who says that they were beaten in a race by one.

Even if you do win against a sleeper Volvo you can't brag about it either or else you get more LOL's.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
