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

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
