How Would You Build A Street Sleeper?

[adamskill]

1000 HP Landcruiser. close the f**kin thread boys, we have a winner

[FelixTRX]

I've had the sleeper before. 1984 Nissan Bluebird TRX, stock white with factory bodykit and alloys.

But it had a 195rwkw race prepped CA18DET with forgies, MicroTech, black FMIC behind the grill, Garrett T04 ball bearing and 3" mufflered exhaust. Was good enough to 12's in street trim but looked just like any other Bluebird on the road.

Miss that car.

i'd probably get some small old car and put a 13b in it. would require a huge amount of work and would sound a little less sleeper like but it would be quick enough.

sorry just had to and see below to see my reson.

1.fully built rb30dett (upgraded twins 800+hp) + datsun 110 1200

reson rwd and light

2. 460 cube v8 (yes it will fit if they fit small blocks in them why not a big block) if fit then twin turboes and efi setup + 1970's escort coupe (not rs2000 or 1800).

3.26btt (as in mad mikes rx7) + mx5

please i may seem crazy to you but i don't care what you say about that.

toyota aristo 2jz standard so no dicking around with costly engine conversions, that way you can spend that money on turbo, fuel pump, new injectors and a free flowing exhaust easy 400 horsepower with known toyota reliability and if their not into jap cars all they'll see is another a to b toyota but you'll know better

Aristos are my ultimate sleeper, bit on the heavy side though, but pretty lux in side as a tradeoff

I would get something like this:

Quoted from the uploader:

DMT's Big Turbo Toyota Camry V6 .

Built 3.0L 1MZ-FE by Canadian Cyl Head Tech

HKS T51R KAI BB, 1.00A/R

Custom EL sidewinder manifolds

4.0" Downpipe / Dual 2.5" Exhaust

IPT Built Transmission w/ LSD

High Stall Converter

Canadian Cyl Head Port Work

Built Valvetrain (Springs/valves/retainers)

Custom AEM EMS

HKS DLI / MSD BAS

Racetronix 68lb/hr Injectors

Meth & Sunoco 94 oct

Tuned by Dynamotorsports

Best of 567 WHP & 468 lbft @ 26 PSI

Only thing I like to add would be some kind of RWD or AWD conversion (400kw+ on FWD?! ) and I would change that crappy looking front bar & put the stock one back on.

Also the car is automatic so you can use it for all your daily traffic jam routines fairly easily

[NickR33]

Merc 300e with any RB/LS/JZ motor. Keep it auto. Rip fat skids.

and being a merc, the chassis, gearbox, diff will take 11ty billion kW and not break!

those things rip pretty good skids with the stock motor lol

how about one of these... this ones diesel too

there are 2 simple rules i would stick to when making a sleeper, no matter what the car.

1: keep it looking as stock as possible. if possible get the biggest factory wheel and put the best tyre on it you can so you don't have to make it stand out by having big wheels. also if need be put base model bumpers, etc on it to hide it even more.

2: mufflers and lots of them also use a dummy exhaust tip if you can. if you can use mufflers to hide some lumpy engine then it adds to the sleeper aspect. if you roll up next to a shitbox at the lights and you can hear a lumpy v8 with twin 3" exhausts that you can hear from 50m away even though it's just idling then it gives it away. if you roll up to the lights next to some factory poo brown datsun with a tissue box and quilted blanket on the parcelshelf sitting on stock steel rims with chrome hubcaps only to have it leave you for dead as you take off a little bit spiritedly then you are going to be shocked.

my plan for my next 31,

wagon

RB30DET

passage rims (look like Ti) with semi's

roof racks, baby seat, beaded seat covers, dash mat, etc

dummy muffer

would never be harassed by anything. ever.

[mad082]

mechanic mate of mine had a 1977 poo brown galant wagon. stock as the day it left the showroom. he was planing on putting the sr20 out of his sigma into it and leave it stock, including the roof racks, beaded seat cover, etc. this idea ended after he put the 15" wheels off the sigma one day at work. drove 2km home and pulled them straight off. said he'd nearly died about 10 times on the way home (and this was with the stock 1.6L or whatever they were and it was auto) and there was no way he would want to drive it with over 200hp.

funny story though, my mate is 30, little bit scruffy (since he's a mechanic and always covered in grease) and he was in the main street once, and he was waiting for a car to reverse out so he could take the park (he was coming to see me on his lunch break), and some bogan pulled up behind him, beeps the horn and yells "hurry up ya old fart". my mate took off his seatbelt, opens the door and steps out. the guy behind him straight away says "oh... sorry mate". he found it hilarious.

This is what i got so far.........

[zebra]

351c 5-speed. very scary to drive. later used the parts for an f100

Whats in the motor and what 5 speed?

[jahn-15]

This is a good subject. I have owned one sleeper was a suzuki sierra black bullbar jacked up on 31's with a sr20 in it out of a 200sx had the vvti etc friggin screamed only it was all over the road. A friend has a 1uz Cressida manual white flogged my 32 i was shocked the sound from it gives it away its pretty loud. He is selling it for 5 grand has coilovers, brides, 18's, 1uz mated to manual box etc would be a bargain!

[sleeperdatto]

shorty gq with a twin turbo 7.3 power stroke desile [spelling]

if i were to do the datsun 1200 i would find a chopped up sr20/ca18 wersion as not upset the enthusiests when the firewall foes back half a meter

i like the jdm bluebird

crazy but a kia truck with the giant mack engines

a bigger engine goes into a escort than 7.5 twin turb so no briging it up that it wont fit

two words devil z [not sleeper but cool and most guys wont have a clue about it especialy with tripple weber twin turbo]

for now

Friggin awesome thread!! Love the v8 volvos, they're so cheap to buy! Also never thought I'd see a volvo anywhere near an r1, but that's the good thing about the sleeper.

I reckon a legnum is the way to go. Not exactly pretty, they look like a volvo mated with a merc estate and the resulting spawn rear-ended a lancer. But they're fairly quick, very rare, damn cheap and of the half dozen I've ever seen, none of them drove like a douche. All a good recipe to keep below the radar.

The Legnum is definitely the way to go, except that cops are starting to know what they are. They are still rare though, and most people don't know what they are or what they're capable of. Legnums commonly get mistaken for some special type of Magna or Verada. Add to that the fact that they are cheap and the manual models are fairly reliable (with the exception of the damn lifters and interior clock), you've got a contender for the best sleeper on Australian roads.
