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.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
