What 'rb' Means For Nissan Engines

[funkymonkey]

i think around 70kw, but its strength would be the fuel economy

they also featured in some cedrics and glorias in japan. RD28 from memory came in Patrols. Always wanted to know if the block was the same, just with a longer stroke, or different because of it being Diesel.

Just to lay to rest once and for all the 'Race Bred' rumour still going around after, what, 8 or 9 years?

Alright go ask the same question (in Japanese) over at http://www.gtroc.com/ and see what answer you get... I know I'm going to believe what a Japanese says about their own engines over what some cornbread fanboy on Yahoo Answers says

Whats with rebelling against correct knowledge and haging on to wrong information anyway? You know what it really means now, but you still say you'll believe the wrong thing? Thats totally absurd.

and how does that lay it to rest ?

anybody can write up info on wikipedia so just coz its there does not mean its fact

for all we know RB could stand for Rice Burner

HAS ANYBODY EVER ASKED NISSAN for an answer ?

[EVILTD]

ok ok fellas... this battle has raged on for long enough... RB IMO stands for "Racy Bitch" there you go... ha ha ha... now let's drop it... LMAO

[MBS206]

I beleive everything the japanese say as well...

*Looks at WW2*

[Rezz]

and how does that lay it to rest ?

Because Japanese don't understand the meaning of 'Race bred' in it's English context as used in way it has on the www.racebred.com website, and they'd never use such a phrase for what is supposed to be a simple alphanumeric designation for an engine. The do however understand 'Response' and 'Balance', these two words are used in everyday Japanese language, they've been used heavily since the US occupation after WW2. Anyone thats lived in Japan or who speaks fluent Japanese would know this. Anyone who has just a passing fancy in Nissans or Japan/Japanese cars wouldn't. (ie: the person on Yahoo Answers)

More eg:

ECCS = Electronic-Concentrated-Engine-Control-System

ATTESA E-TS = Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic - Torque Split

HICAS = High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension

I can't understand the urge some of you have to resist the meaning the Japanese are using, and sticking to what some random Aussie or whatever said. Where you at all disappointed when you Mum told you Santa wasn't actually real? Seems almost like the same situation...

gazza750: to answer your question, I'll send an email to Nissan but don't hold your breath on a forthcoming answer.

NO, YOU ARE WRONG! RB = Response Balance! End of discussion!

Go cry to mama now...

OK, scientifically, technically etc... RB stands for whatever... as far as we're concerned, it can even stand for Rotten Bananas... ha ha ha... but, hey, just like Honda drivers like saying "VTEC YO!" all the time when John Tran in TF&F never even said that... RB = Race Bred... sounds mad... so let's just put it to rest... LMAO... And yes, when I found out that Santa was just some fat dude dressed up trying to be generous... yes, I was in tears... LOL
