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.

im not saying a stock looking one can't be made faster then a stock one, But a stock one isn't a slow car either and I don't know anyone who would look at a Gtr and say "look at this piece of shit, it's got no hope" their reputation is just to great

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

I have to dissagree, My 32 4 door was stock and no one even knew what it was. I had to keep telling people it was a r32 skyline. i have never been pulled up, followed or other wised had any issues with the cops.

N13 Nissan pulsar with a CA18DET, I used to have one had 350hp atw & ran 12.2@124mph wheel spin 1st second third. Would bag the tyres at 100kph on the highway. I miss it

Here is a vid of it at willow bank when it was putting down about 220hp

i still think the best streest sleeper is the MX83 Cressida

They're getting a bit 'done to death' - but you can't be the combination of a built 1.5JZ single turbo with a stout A340 transmission behind it, R33 front brakes, coilovers, MA70 supra LSD, sticky tyres on stock rims - all underneath a brown/beige metallic paint, white venetians, doyleys on the cream leather recliner seats and a 'I <3 BOWLS' sticker on the rear window.

They're the penultimate grandpa car, and nobody would even think twice. I'd even run a massive network of mufflers just to make sure it was virtually silent around town........and an external gate to screamer.

EDIT: just re-read this thread from back to front - seems like everyone else has the same idea. So. I concur.

Didn't read entire thread, but my pick would be a au/ba/f falcon s/wagon. F6 motor, 6sp auto, and good lsd for the solid axle. Sticky tyres & tune for 400kw+ = :w00t:

My mate's 808 is a great example of a nice street sleeper, sure the whole old Mazda rotary has been done a lot but...

Smoothie wheels, red/white wall tyres, rear venetians and a sun visor.

Oh, and it also runs 10's with a full interior and numberplates - not bad!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
