Z-Cars Cerb?

[Erich Stahler]

Anybody know any more about this? Apparently its a Skyline powered Cerb at the Z-Cars workshop! Is this the same one that appeared on a short film clip with the way out dash board and the massive induction pipes?

Is this anything to do with our friend Ash?

Think it is a different car. Ash has used a Mitsibushi engine?
And he used a different co.

Looks like an RB26 alright...

Hmmm, the plot thickens in that case!

[Ireland]

Am I right in thinking that they've set it up with the full 4WD set-up?

It certainly looks like it.

That'd be an interesting car, methinks.

OMG!

That does indeed have front drive shafts!

Please welcome the Cerbera FF.

I was wondering if 4wd could be done yesterday whilst driving back in the pissing rain from Exeter on Monday.

I know it would be a crime to remove the AJP, but wouldn't RS4 engine and running gear be interesting.

No rear dif and driveshafts in the picture so perhaps it's going to be the first front wheel drive Cerbera

Butcher a cheap six and I reckon that'd be one hell of a DRT.

Erm...what is that beneath the right rear uprights, it looks like a diff to me.

[Storer]

Thats the old one they took out to make it front wheel drive

[gcpeters]

greenstuff pads as well?

i thought they were supposed to be rubbish on a cerby!?


maybe its only running 220bhp

Oh dear, oh dear Fubes!! I worry about you, I really do.

[brakedust300]

Ooooo....... now that would be cool, I love the AJP but a 4wd cerbera with jap reliable engine would be a good piece of kit!

[Storer]

I bet the passenger side foot well will be nice and warm with the turbo there.

Are you sure they are front drive shafts? the picture is not very clear though they do seem to be running through the centre of the wishbone assemblies so may well be! certainly is an interesting project!

[Brummmie]

I'd like to see how they get the exhaust past that gearbox! They MUST have a plan, but that looks a tad tight.

Exactly what I was thinking

Looks like its going to be single turbo, the manifolds are wrong for twin turbos in the original locations (turbos sit under the manifolds originally). But I can't see how they're going to get the exhaust past unless its going to get run down the sills beneath the doors.

Excellent project, definetly 4WD, if you enlarge the pic you can see a front driveshaft and CV boot.

Rich.

[absolutely]

Are you all sure its going to be a Cerb? It maybe a Cerb chassis but it might be a bespoke vehicle that might not have a Cerb body on it.
