Internally combustion engines have existed in all kinds of arrangements, spanning all the way back to the start of the 19th century.

Nearly five decades after it ended production, the original Datsun Fairlady Z, also known as the 240Z, is still one of the most beloved cars Nissan has ever built.

The Nissan RB engine family is one most heralded engine series in recent history, and a perfect example is the 3 liter inline-six RB30 engine.

Initially introduced in 1985, the Nissan RB20 series of motors has a long and storied history.

Though it’s not as talked about as some of its cousins, Nissan’s RB25DET was still one of the best tuner engines of the 1990s.
