What 'rb' Means For Nissan Engines

[MBS206]

The RB motor was named such as they knew they'd be placing the RB25DET in the R33, hence it stands for "Race Boat"

[mad082]

then the RB in the r34 gt-t must be "race barge"

[mad082]

alright then.. what does RD in RD28 stand for?

how many of you guys knew there was a deisel skyline?

there is also a cd20 (2L diesel) that is found in some n15 pulsars (not sure if any made it to australia)

It is JUST A BLOODY SERIES DESIGNATION.

Just because three unreferenced Japanese sources have another goofy response to turn RB into an acronym doesn't make it real.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

this sux.... my skyline was running way faster when i thought rb stood for "race bred." now it's lucky to beat a scooter.

It's a little known fact that Snoop Dog works at Nissan and it actually stands for "Rizzle Bizzle"

(or some other stupid crap that Snoop would say )

[gazza750]

It means f**k all, its just codes for series of engines.

All of the Race Bred, Response Balance shit came after it was out. not during the naming process

Call it what u want, each to their own. but it doesnt actually mean anything.

I'd like to know what some of the following nissan engine codes "Mean" then. hah

CA, LD, KA, MA, QG, CD, CG, E, FJ, L, RD, SR, TB, VG, VH, VQ, Z

here we go... *waits*

all these people are correct, that includes me:

omfg cant manafacturers just pick 2 random letters for a engine family ID anymore?

its just a 2 digit combination they use to ID the engine from other Nissan engines, not this race bred or repsonse balance shit.

[Spunky Munky]

just close this down. whatever it stands for, its in our skylines so just respect it. if you had to interpret what it means or stands for - just say, something that is damn fast!

[Rezz]

Mwahhaha... brilliant.

We had a fairly useless rumour (RB = Race Bred), it got attacked by something to the contrary (RB = Response Balance), the whole thing ends up getting argued about so much it's almost rediculous - for such a trivial thing - and after 5 pages most sensible people agree that 'RB' means nothing... Perfect, just how it was planned

Thanks for playing guys!
