V= V style motor
Q = ?
30 = motor size in decaliters
D= dohc
E= electronic fuel injection

(T=turbo)
(TT=twin turbo)

what does the Q stand for? Is it how the motor is designed to be mounted? for FWD or RWD?

also what does the G in GXE and GLE stand for?

 

Q is for quick

 

g= grand
Q= no one knows (maybe just a way to tell diff from other engines such as VG)

 

Very Quite = VQ

 

If you so choose.

 

PTown probably has the correct explanation

 

haha, nice.

 

those letters mean NOTHING. Its just an engine code. A lot of people think that the RB in RB25 means "race breed", which it doesnt. Its just an engine code. the V is not reffering to V6 and the Q isnt reffering to anything either. everything after those how ever mean something.

 

Fixed..........

 

Mods might lock this soon..but anyway.. ask the boosted guys too, Q means Quality

 

your joking right?


jeez the level of knowledge in the 4th gen section drops every day.

 

q weeer......

 

VQ is an engine family (has no reference to the V design, otherwise why isn't the RB called the IB?)

You also forgot -k for Kaisen (sp?) and DD for Dual Overhead Cam/Direct Injection

 

very quiet....ha, mine isnt.

 

who gives a crap what it means

 

WTF HAHAHAHA

 

q= Nissan QUEST stock suspension thats why our cars look like trucks without a drop

 

I sure as hell would like to know...

 

just because we dont kow what it means it doesnt mean that it has no meaning. engine codes mean something but we just might not be given that info

 

It must be if you think I'm serious.
