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 :(

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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
