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

    • Z32 AFMs are 80mm tubes. RB26 AFMs are smaller. Just measure. Nismo RB26 AFMs have a different part number to original 26 ones. Probably also have a Nismo badge - but I don't know because I've never been near one. It's unlikely that they've been changed anyway.
    • Hey looking for pointers or experiences with indicator wiring/ common faults for the blinkers on the r31, I have a 87 silhouette and am having dramas with the blinkers staying on (not flashing) to indicate right,while trying to indicate this way the relay makes a constant noise, The front passenger side fender blinker is missing the harness connector to the bulb so is not connected would this effect the opposite side? Both rears work as they should, and blinker that stays on functions normally when on hazards instead of indicating, have replaced all bulbs,fuses and relay Cheers 
    • I’ll check the AFM’s and confirm. I’ve seen on another forum post years ago it’s identified with an orange sticker and larger diameter. Unsure if I can check the diameter without removing the air filter. Is there a way to identify if the AFM is stock? I’ve done a quick search and it looks like it might be a green sticker instead?   Will try check that turbo core tag. Looks like a very tight fit in there. Do you know what number would show if it was a stock T25 turbo? 
    • The car and the 33GT-R wheels look great. I can't remember if spacers were needed for these but the offset looks perfect for the GTS25t.
    • And the lack of ubiquitous availability. If it was less likely that I'd run out of fuel while trying to cross the crime zone, I'd probably be all over it.
