There's a mid eighties corolla up here that looks stock but really moves. Sounds like an SR20DET. Funny thing is, it really doesn't matter what type of car you use (that said I'd steer clear of a Lamborghini as a sleeper) just so long as it looks rough!

How many bloody S13's and R33's do you know of that are CLEARLY owned by young'uns who've never heard of engine oil? It has cheap rims, lowered to buggery thanks greatly to the half-tonne of stereo equipment, tacky seat covers and goes nearly as well as an ex-taxi EB Falcon with 4,000,000 kms on the clock?

The ones that are eager to race ANYTHING at the lights and get cocky if they beat a hearse that's in the middle of a funeral precession? Go for the wank look I say! They're the ones that'll really stun the owners of nice but lightly modified imports.

But then people may throw things at you and your girlfriend will probably leave you and you may find yourself drawn towards the wasteland threads. It's a slippery slope mate......

LOL.

Do you remember V6 Vengance from Street Commodores? In its final incarnation it ended up with a turbo and respectable quarter mile times, and looked for all intents and purposes like a 500 000km bomb.

oh and this old banger lol

There is a heap of cars you can choose from but for the true sleeper spec you must have....

1x Box of tissues on the back seat parcel shelf

1x Straw wide brim hat " " " " " " "

1x Carpet dash protector (on the dash)

No one will expect to be wooped with that shit inside!!!

I remember there was a guy that rocked up to a dyno day in a VB commodore wagon, rusted yellow colour, rusted rims, rust throughout the body, dog in the back, bogan stickers, poo brown interior, hell even the lugnuts were rusted...

Under the bonnet there was an RB20 with a nice fat turbo.....

Thing is none of these are sleepers. Everyone knows what a chaser is now, the same goes for a stagea, V35's are incredibly flashy, KE70's are modified for drift all the time,  an AE86 is the opposite of a sleeper in every way - its only (arguably) the most famous import OF ALL TIME, and the Z series of cars are incredibly recognisable.

Modified they manage to be even more un-sleeperish.

Yeah you would recognise it, but not the average daily drivers or ppl you know are only into a certain type of car(s).

subaru liberty wagon.. 3rd gen.. with a late model wrx engine and running gear.. keep standard wheels, just wrap em in semi slicks, and just lower it a little.. with a quiet exhaust and non obtrusive tip.. you would never pick it.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
