Question about Nissan and the naming of their Cars

[funkymonkey]

Skyline... "the ridgeline which divides a mountain range and a blue sky"

[ylwgtr2]

heres what i know....R33 GTR was released in 95 and the 34 GTR in 99.....Other manufacturers numbers are as follows....toyota engine example 4A(engine family) G= twin over head camshaft with twin pulley drive F=Twin overhead camshaft with single pulley drive with the other cam driven by a gear off the pulley driven cam T= turbo

Z= supercharged E=Efi U=Pollution engine (but they have since dropped this designation)

C=carby

Mitsubishi body example CC lancer CD5A=Lancer 4wd 1800cc 4g93 CD9A=Lancer evolution...9 designating the 2 litre engine therefore first 2 digits designates the body shape/model 3rd digit in designates the engine dunno what the A is

[ylwgtr2]

ok.....here it is....first letter in nissan skyline's VIN number designates the engine....B=rb26 E=Rb25 H=RB20

N=4WD

So BNR34 Is rb26 powered 4wd R34.....i beleive the earlier models C=coupe but was dropped for 34 series

C was supposed to designate HICAS...

ummmm no...heres another example from a blue plate BNR34 SKVYCBPSRUNZ

The C in that number means DOHC...I was referring to the earlier models "keski" which is BCNR

[funkymonkey]

oh gotcha... so that table from fast is obviously after the revision?

[Evo_Lee]

that's the model that came out iafter 1990 with the HICAS II More commonly known as the diamond selection

Correct the K is to designate HICAS

Incorrect because only the CA18DE(T) has HICAS II, while the SR20DE(T) had Super HICAS.
