i had a 605awhp stagea rs4 with shit rims and stock external bodywork, black intercooler, nothing to give it away, lets say i had a few laughs in the time it was driving on the street, bunch of young guys in a vx clubsport r8 pulled up at the lights and commented on the sound of the exhust "sounds fast" he said in a sarcastic way. Lets just say once i hit 2nd gear it was all over and he did the fly by when i slowed down and next lights i pulled up again next to him and his passenger said 'f**k mate you need a parachute".

Also had a good run with a motorbike from the lights and he didnt expect it thats for sure, he pulled up after the run and said what the hell is in that thing haha.

hahahaha thats gold!

i had some fun in my ford laser tx3 4wd turbo back in the day... was dead stock, mint as, full history and kept up with most stock/mildly done up imports.

gave a few people a surprise... i remember an s14 gunning it off the lights up to 4th, looked over and i was just up to his door, he was fairly shocked hahaha... didnt win anything but was good enough for the wtf look :rofl:

mate of mine had a 1982 sigma with a sr20 in it. cooler was relatively well hidden. stock 15" mags, stock tint (which was that old bluey colour and was peeling a little bit). pretty much just looked like a clean stock sigma, apart from the exhaust note and the fact it ran mid 12's. he was going to put the motor into an old late 70's chrysler galant wagon (brown, roof racks, stock 13" wheels, blanket over the rear seat, etc) but he put the 15" wheels on it at work, drove it about 3km home and took them straight off because it was horrible to drive (still had the stock motor in it) because it was all over the place. the tyres just followed the road, and he just thought it was going to be too much work getting all the suspension sorted/replaced to get it to be driveable on the road with any power.

Old school Audi gets my seal of win.. Audi 80 or S2

General lee audi for example..

Simple rule with a good sleeper though.. probably doesn't matter how they look because people won't be able to get a good enough look in time any way.

The Jap spec SSS bluebird is a nice sleeper

They're already 4wd and have the sr20 in them, cheap as and chances are now the paint is peeling too.

My daily driver is a 1989 Mazda 323 Shades. 1.6L Carby, 3 speed auto. Slowest car I have ever been in lol. However, it is comfy and light. I see it as a perfect candidate for an SR20. Its brown with brown interior. It looks slow because it is slow. But with an SR20, some decent tyres and somehow make it not FWD it would be awesome. Its like 900kg or something.

for me it would be a toyota crown station wagon, BA XRT engine and gear box, black inter cooler, venetian blinds in the back window etc etc.

For me a sleeper has to be reasonably quiet, which a non forced induction motor couldnt do. XR motor is big enough to push the car along with minimal mods fairly rapidly plus the car is big enough to hide some decent suspension under it with out much hassle

Ford BA series or later ex-taxi pick up for nix - put in XR6 turbo engine, trans and suspension - work the mutha f*cker. Put in all the curry decorations too :blink:

Datsun 910 bluebird - sr20det and all mods - keep it looking stock with the louver and granny/grandpa hat on the back seat.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
