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

Lol, that area is awesome for all sorts of photo shoots. It's used a lot. Must admit the first time I seen it I thought 'photo shoot'.

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 ideal sleeper would be a stock 1984 toyota supra, electronic dash, quiet exhaust, with a twin turbo transplant, stock on outside.

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!

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
