close, there's no D and that actually looks like it is a RB20E, there was also a RB30E but i think it looks alot different than that one.

the D stands for Dual cam. heres a breakdown

RB25DETRB- engine code25 - displacmentD - dual camE - electronic injectionT - turbo

Ugh... so many new motors I never knew existed, and I consider myself decently well educated in Nissans. Why in the world would anyone buy a car (skyline none the less... What's the weight on these anyways, ~3200 I thought) with a 135 HP SOHC RB20 in them anyways?

Can anyone post a pic and output numbers of a CA18I?

TPI?

And I found a N/A 4 banger mustang hatch for $500, practically no rust, and in pretty good shape. Worth it?
