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.

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

:P

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: :D

Only thing I like to add would be some kind of RWD or AWD conversion (400kw+ on FWD?! :P) 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 :happy:

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 :P

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. :blush:

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 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!

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

david [sleeper datto]

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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
