Am I the only one that wants to stab EVILTD in the eye?

+1

[r32line]

None of those other engine designations are under dispute buddy, so go find out for yourself in your own time...

You have completely missed my point.

[r32line]

make no mistake....

I will BAN the next person that comes on here claiming that RB stands for "Race Bred". and wtf? the url is racebread.com ?? that's some fast dough! f**king american skyline fanboys n knowitalls... think I have more braincells than their collective in my left testicle.

THANKYOU!!!!

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.

hate to nit pick, but in regards to ECCS i was under the impression it stood for Electronic Computer Control System.... because the one you have written would make ECECS ?

I could be wrong though.....

[Race_Bred]

RACE BRED!!! sounds good anyways

[AutoTrust]

First of all,

Hello Rezz, nice to see you are still stirring the shit with IQ on your side.

Secondly, Shan, where have you been you snobby well tanned biach!!??

RB...... lets put it to rest, Really Bad (in the Michael Jackson dictionary bad = good)

VQ means Very Queer.... this shows Nissans humour when Renault took over.

Race bread, this is the bread you take to eat at the track if you want to do sik burnouts.

If you want to argue with Rezz you will have to do better than ....der I still thinks RB stands for ...derr... race bred.... derr...

RB.....can also stand for..

Real Bad-ass

Real Ballsy

Real Bitch

or if your Aussie.....real bute.

Or on the other hand can stand for...

Just another Engine serial number...ie...VL....VP....VR or my favourite.....VS...Very slow...lol.

Response Balance.....there is nothing on my car that says.......Responce Balance on my glove-box like the Radial tunned suspension Holden had...

So everyone move on to better pastures.......I quite like the sound of....Real Bitch though...

[BAMR33]

Maybe it stands for the chemical element Rubidium.

Rampaging Beast?

[philta]

Seriously Rice?

im pretty sure its just notations that engineers used when designing the engines.

[nisskid]

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.

[ExodusDesign]

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*

[sl33ek]

SR - Something's Rattling LOL

Probably true because all the SR powered cars I been in including my bro's 180 rattles

I'm just kidding
