I dont think you could really call a GTR a sleeper.

I would have called my 4 door a sleeper. It was often considered to be just another 4 door sedan (lots of people don't even realise nissan made a 4 door skyline) but had all the right bits where it counted. It wasnt untill I applied the brakes (after beating them off the line) that they realised it was a skyline.

sleepers are cars that look normal on the outside but are packing extreme heat under the bonnet. The best examples of sleepers are the cars that have a reputation for being slow and/or a grandpas car (things like old toyota cressidas, old nissan bluebirds etc) but have had an engine conversion to a big power engine.

a sleeper...

Volvo station wagon. (no expectation of 'go' from one of these).

Worked 5L V8 , forgies, roller rockers , head work, manifold, cam, Tricked up auto with shift kit and B&M quickshifter, 3.25 Dana 30 LSD diff.. blah blah blah.

There is a silver/blue volvo sedan over here that has a very warm chev in it and it runs 12.2 second quater miles, in street trim.

what does the station wagon pull out in a quarter??

It might do a high 13 all things being equal on a good day. At the moment it is in a reasonable state of tune, I spent all last week fixing things on it. For the previous six months it was without the use of the secondaries on the carby (the wife and kids drive around in it so they didn't mind).

I have a 294 duration big lift cam sitting in the shed at the moment that along with a 2000-2500rpm or so high stall and some mucking around might get it into low 13's. But... I shouldn't go doing things like that when I have an R32 GTR to spend money on.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
