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.

    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
    • On sale mate, $55. Sorted. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-torque-wrench-1-2-drive/565734.html?utm_content=paidsearch-pmax&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwytS-BhCKARIsAMGJyzqYEnwWmhWf6gxTST_Nz06Gd2VePgyvL7lh6PWrQtbjXTsI6TqSCLEaAuaCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
    • Slap it and say it ain't going no where, you'll be fine.
    • So the whole rb25de neo setup was a tiptronic setup and i swapped everything over to my rb20de neo setup and yes even the cluster of the rb25 was swapped over.
