Dry sumps aren't that expensive. People tend to look over them because they prefer to spend money on other things. If I had lots of money I sure as hell wouldn't be stuffing around with a rb26 motor.

The car doesnt look to be running one. Compare the motor on display with the one in the car, no belts or drives running off the harmonic balancer.

Hey, the reason i like the 26 is they do sound sweet with a T51 on them bouncing off the 2 stage limiter at the drags on launch. It is a ferocious sound, and in a Cerbera, well if you are going to ditch the std 6 or V8 then it would only be to go AWD. There are a few people that have popped the std motors and thrown alloy LS1/LS3s in there. But i love the flat pane wail of the AJP8. If you want lumpy V8 in a fibreglass sports car then get a Griffith or Corvette. If you want a wailing banshee then the Cerberas are on the money...so RB26 suits the character of the car, especially with a big single hanging off it. Makes you wonder why they didnt just stick with the OE dry sumped SPeed Six motor (4L) and graft teh RB26 front diff housing up front like they have done. 4L and T51 SPL and AWD, If only i had the £140,000

Compare the motor on display with the one in the car, no belts or drives running off the harmonic balancer.

The motor on display was a spare JGTC motor if I remember correctly. I remember someone asking about those cam covers on this site ages ago.

Another, more striaght forward one i have thought about would be the all alloy 8L V10 out of Viper into a 240Z old kitted up. I imagine the weight of the engine wouldnt be any different then to the all steel L series engine :) I fyou had a clue, a welder and money there are so many cool things you could whip up :D

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
