tried quoting a post way back in 2009 someone said "hiace van with sr20"

There's a bright orange Hiace Van up here with a 2J in it, auto boxand it did a PB last night of 11.7 i think it was. Crazy quick and it's funny because people sitting near me were laughing at it at the lights.. and i was just thinking you guys just wait! haha

I would stay away from the volvo personally, a mate of mine recently picked up an early 90's wagon - cant remember exactly which model, but the old square shaped sluggish pos, and we just put a couple of grand worth of beilstiens, springs, bushes etc... and it still handles like a bucket of mashed crabs..

I had a mate that twin turbo'd a Statesmen.....

He said it was the biggest disappointment of his life! Lol

Apparently it had nowhere near the performance he thought it would have. He sold it not long after the conversion.

So yeah, maybe stick with tried and trusted methods (cars that have already been done successfully) instead of trying to be TO different.... It may just turn around and bite you.

Ps I do realize this is a old thread. ?

That's similar to my next project, a 73 TA22 with an SR20 :)

RE the whole sleeper idea, my last project was an 87 Daihatsu Charade GTti which weighed 840 kg and had (when I had finished it) a 993 cc, 3 cyl, twin cam, turbo motor that had over 110hp. It didn't get any police attention and was quite a blast to drive, pulled 200km/h and suprised a lot of people :D

Now THAT'S a sleeper... A Charade!

This guy wins!???

I think this thread went off topic hard.

A lot of the cars mentioned in this thread are nowhere NEAR sleeper status... Even in there stock form. Eg MR2, BMW, XR6T, Merc's, ect.

To me a sleep is something that had next to no performance or street cred in stock form. Not MR2's and XR6T that come out from the factory with turbo charged engines... NOT A SLEEPER.

An Merc's and BMW are luxury performance cars.

Most Surrgestions are simply taking a car with mild stock performance and engine swapping them with something that has more Kw. That is just a engine swap... Nothing special.

A TRUE Sleeper not only needs to LOOK stock,

But it also has to be a car that had next to NO performance associated with it when first build...

Like a Toyota Starlet or Nissan Micra or something. Lol

Just my opinion tho. ?

For buget/easy to do builds, I will just buy a current gen Ford FG XR6T & mod that while leaving the outside looking stockish.

The current FG models are pretty boring looking wise (IMO) & almost resambles a last gen Camry...

If you buy a Ford..

Why do sleepers have to be ugly shiy boxes?

My R32 GTR is a "sleeper"

Has N1 bits, R34 wheels and R33 brakes

Interior and engine bay look dead stock ad its super quiet.

Cops dont look twice because they think its stock based on appearance and sound.

Makes 300kW and is super fun!

Will do full feature in Motive 17

I think being a true sleeper the engine bay needs to appear stock and the car needs to be quiet. That way if u do get pulled over you dont get defected.

Old cars that look stock but have 700hp generally dont sound stock or look stock under the hood.

Real sleeper looks stock everywhere in my books

A Gtr will never be a sleeper, even a stocker with some boost is well known to be a quick car

people don't expect too much from a stock R32 GT-R these days, especially when other person is driving when driving a modified Evo or something.

plus, making a crap heap look stock under the engine bay is hard, making 300-400rwkW with a stock looking RB26 is doable.

I prefer the engine bay to look stock and sound quiet to cops so I know I can drive the car in peace. That's more sleeper than an old Corolla with a big engine in it.

Why can't a sleep look good and be comfortable and handle well too?

R31 aussie spec.

Built 26/30 big turbo with water to air cooler.

Nice looking normal rims

and a dodgy paint job who the hell would know smile.gif

this

with venetians in the rear window and a lawn bowling hat on the rear parcell shelf next to the box of tissues.

stock or matt grey paint job (like under coat)

+1 on this. No skyline (regardless of model) will ever be a sleeper. No matter how stock it looks.

talk of R31 reminded me of this one...

Now THAT is cool! Ultimate sleeper right there.

My mate has a 4 door r33 and it's close to 400hp, apparently it's going to be pushing 500 or even more pretty soon. It looks like an absolute peice of shit. Paint is all rooted, car is always filthy and i mean ALWAYS. He gets shitty every time it gets clean because he usually gets pulled over when it looks clean lol.

Exterior is completely stock, wish i had a photo.. definitely wouldn't expect it to make the power that it does.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
