Although the SDU site does say it, I wouldn't believe that it has to be true. They also get the power figures wrong on some of the Skylines which is pretty straight forward stuff. I don't think it's meant to be the definitive Skyline / RB guide, just general advice.

I had also heard the 6 cyl closed deck theory too, Abo Bob. Can you think of any other Nissan engines with common letters? All I can think of at the moment is the RD28.

does it have to mean anything...it is just an engine block designation.

All you have to know is the B in BNR32 is 2600, N is 4WD+HICAS (HNR32 has HICAS) and R32 is just that Skyline model/shape, similarly BCNR33 but C is now used for HICAS as this model ENR33 didn't have HICAS. In the R34 models the HICAS label was completely abolished for all.

B:RB26, E:RB25, H:RB20DE, F: CA, YH:RB20E

another site that thinks race breed

RBxxDETT stands for

RB = Race Breed.

xx = Engine capacity to the nearest litre. 20, 25, 26 and 28 are used.

D = Dual overhead cam.

E = Fuel injected.

TT = Twin turbo.

RB = Inline straight 6 code

just like SR, CA, VQ and VG all mean the type of engine.

The idea that RB means Race Bred is an abosolute pile of rotting shit because there exists an RB24S... inline straight 6 carby engine. Its about as race bred as my left testicle. Made from 11/88 to 04/90 (so it predates the RB20DE or RB20E) there was also an RB30S which was put into Patrols from 09/88 to mid 1991. Since when are Patrol engines Race Bred?

I've collected an article by the dude who chaired the development of the RB20DET and the RB26DETT engines, and it makes no mention of "Race Bred". These two engines were supposed to be the race winners in the Nissan stable.

The closest thing I've ever come to a meaning put to it on any japanese documentation is by a tuning company that called it "Race Box" but I doubt its what RB stands for, moreso an interpretation just like "Race Bred".

then why is it not called a BR? instead of RB. The japanese engine manual shows you how to decode the transmission codes and the Engine codes, and all it says for RB is Inline Straight 6.

R = 6 cylinder, closed deck.

B = Gasoline application using cast iron/nickle based block.

[/color]

S = 4 cylinder, closed deck.

R= Gasoline application using sand-cast alloy based block.

K = 4 cylinder, closed deck.

A = Gaslone application using sand-cast iron based block.

Q = 4 cylinder, open deck.

R = Gaslone applcation using die-cast alloy based block.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
