im doing nissan gazelle with sr convertion,l but its a lot of work and cost about 5g already and probly 8 by the time its finished did i mention its been 11 months since i put the sr in and only first ran it 2 weeks ago. anyway what ever you do by the best condition car you can find even if it 3 times the price of a cheap fingerd one it will save you a lot of trouble in the end, ie dint, shit paint, rust, interior,suspention and bushes

just my 2 cents

Haysey, where are you getting all these pics from? Friggen awesome! :(

Has anyone ever done up a R31 Skyline wagon?

According to redbook they have the same kerb weight as an R32 GTS-T. A turbo on the RB30 would make it bloody quick in a straight line. You could probably drift it aswell :P

Keep em coming :D

just my usual hunting of the net, coming across these things, always liked sleepers, a mate has a old 71 corona he insipired to put a rotor in, maybe one day...

this cressida has a supra engine in it

im doing nissan gazelle with sr convertion,

Yeah, s12 silvia coupe, but an FJ20T or CA18eT would do it for 14's, could probably even do a nasty NA SR20 with a stripped out interior. I have heard of RB power s12's but I reckon that'd be heaps of work..

I know the pic isn't much of a sleeper but I love it..

Suzuki Mighty Boy with a Pulse Jet Engine :P

Or just a 20kg Titanium frame with a Pulse Jet Engine works fine too :rofl:

omg we musta imported half the mighty boys on that site.

my low budget not so sleeper is a $600 AE86 with a $1000 CA18DET.

get an old volvo and stick a V8 in it or a 1jz , front cut for one of those is only $1400.

Volvos have big ass brakes and massive engine bays, not to mention the diffs are dana's on some of the 70's models meaning it's not too hard to get LSDs and different gear sets and they are super strong.

Nothing better than driving this sort of sleeper, I have experience. I used to love driving my old unit around.

As you can see lots of room in the engine bay.

any old datto that came with an L series 6. drop a v8 in....matter of fact i have a midly worked 253, that only had 5 months of driving before the car was written off. that comes with all cross members and mount to drop in a L6 powered car.

v8 specs:Worked 253, machined by Trapnell Race Engines, ACL Race Series flat top fly cut pistons(60 thou) peened rods, balanced and blueprinted bottom end, New port matched Speedmaster single plane manifold, inlet and exhaust ports tidied, 20thou off heads, new Speedpro billet camshaft, new lifters, new double row timing chain, new w/pump and timing cover,Hi volume sump, double valve springs, block hugger extractors, Alloy rocker covers, Hadfield bellhousing, supra 5speed, Built to run straight LPG, but also suits petrol, 5 months old rebuild. Detailed in black and kermit green.

Selling due to crashed car, no damage to engine or gearbox.

My 2c: this is the best idea yet. Max sleeper doofus grandpa value, cheap as f#$k, good engineering.

There's a Ford Anglia with a worked SR20 in it running around NSW.

It's a Ford (keeps the olds happy), they weigh about 800kg and they look so granny standard that no one is ever gonna take it seriously.

Power to weight ratio is insane.

I've also seen an Anglia with a worked Ford 4 litre six in the front.

Major firewall mods needed but it went like a rocket and handled too.

This second one would definitely keep his olds on side but realistically I don't think any of the projects mentioned in this thread could be done for 5 grand.

If you can prove me wrong though I'd love to see the results.

i reckon the gazelle may be under the budget.

you can buy em with shagged engines for sub$1000.

spend the rest on the engine of your choice.

and afaik, all the R31 and S13 gear bolts up to it, struts, brakes, etc.

so it could be the cheapest of the lot.

rotor powered S12 ftw :(

realistically I don't think any of the projects mentioned in this thread could be done for 5 grand.

the old C210 skyline coupe i had was converted to v8/5speed and LPG for well under 5k.

dads old 620 datto ute.... we converted it from 1.5l 4 speed on the steering column to 2L 5 speed and twin carb, for under 1k..... if you can do the work yourself, conversions are cheap as chips.

Theres a guy around here with a VS ute with a 1jz and massive high mount. The ultimate of work utes.

theres a guy near here also, lives around logan im sure. damn it hauls ass. VS ute, pursuits and is a sleeper as they come. nasty weapon though.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
