"Some sources indicate the 'RB' name stands for 'Race Bred'[1], although this is disputed."

> source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RB_engine

thats good enuf for me :)

RB= race bred.

If thats what you want to beleive (even though they tell you it is disputed), but its wrong.

What does "sr" stand for? and "vq", "ca", "ve", "rd", "vg" and a s**tload of others??

Edited by r32line

they prolly did a survey and found that S and R or GT sells car like hotcakes, although GT stands for Grand touring I think, but it doesn't make sence

Grand Tourinng R?

Grand Touring T?

the same reaason why X, Z sounds cooler than the other alphabets.. Z tuned, S tuned, market anything with these alphabets and they sound so much cooler. Zymol car wax? in comparison to Macquire << sounds like farmer

yeah which Honda has supercharger in It? I think Honda moto sumthing got to do with using N/A beat turbo...sumthing like that, the only turbocharged car they produce are the 20 limited edition NSX, N I think the intension for them to produce the car so they can enter it in JGTC to win~~.

anyone else shaking their head at this shizz...

+1

I drove a Brand new prelude Vspec = and when i got my stock R33 I can confirm. R33 alot faster. those engines got nothing untill vspec kicks in, then when it does, it aint a whole lot of power. Just a nice power curve up top. RB engine is Far more superior for Power and torque. .. Why are we talking about this ?

OK, I love my R33 Skyline... no doubt about that...with some of my mods, it owns... however... has anyone felt what turbo(ed) VTEC engine feels like? I have... very aggressive low range RPM's... the RB engine doesn't have similiar VTEC technoligy although it is a 6 Cyclinder twincam engine... I don't know - do you think the RB is more powerful overall? Please don't flame... just a general question as I honestly do not know...

*bump* ... RB = Race Bread... fact!

thats the thing they're designed to have power at low rpms and at high rpms and a turbo only helps it. its the best of both worlds with the vtec system. the variable valve timing on a vtec is far more superior to an rb

Spot on answer... that's exactly what I think... if only an RB had VVTI or VTEC or something... how crazy would that be... damn.... high and low end power..

From wiki

"RB25DE and DET engines produced from August 1993 also featured NVCS (Nissan Variable Cam System) for the intake cam. This gave the new RB25DE more power and torque at lower rpm than the previous model.

In May 1998 a NEO head was fitted, which enabled the engine to be classified as a low emission vehicle engine (LEV). The non-VCT and non-turbo was fitted to the R32 Skyline, the VCT turbo and non-turbo was fitted to R33 Skylines and Stageas. R34 Skylines also use these engines, but they are fitted with a NEO head."

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
