The Nissan VQ37VHR is a high-revving V6 petrol engine manufactured by Nissan. It is tuned by a completely different manufacturer depending on the vehicle model, and as of 2020, the model that was installed in the Fairlady Z34 type until a minor change in 2022 is used as a naturally aspirated V6 engine installed in commercial vehicles. boasted the world's highest output.
History
It is the flagship engine of the naturally aspirated model currently manufactured by Nissan, and was first adopted in the North American specification Infiniti G37 Coupe released in August 2007. In Japan, it was installed for the first time in the CV36 Skyline Coupe, which is the Japanese specification of the same car. When installed in the Skyline Coupe, the displacement was increased by 200cc from the conventional 3.5L to 3.7L.

Although the 200cc displacement increased output and torque compared to the VQ35HR or VQ35DE engines, the new technology of the variable valve mechanism VVEL (Variable Valve Event & Lift: a system that continuously varies the valve operating angle and lift)) has improved fuel efficiency. And until then, each model equipped with the old-generation VQ35HR type engine has been changed to the VQ37VHR type engine due to a full model change or a minor change. Although it is based on the VQ35HR, more than 35% is a new design, making it a de facto new engine.
It is a high-power 100% high-octane gasoline engine that was announced at the dawn of next-generation automobiles such as hybrid engines and electric vehicles, and many people say that it is a masterpiece of domestic naturally aspirated engines. It is a high-revving engine with a red zone starting at 7,500rpm, and the intake and exhaust systems are symmetrical and independent.
The VVEL, which is a variable valve mechanism, has a high degree of freedom, and the characteristics of the engine differ greatly depending on the model due to the adjustment of the engine body and each part by Nissan. As for horsepower, it rises straight according to the number of revolutions like a naturally aspirated engine, and the torque characteristic rises sharply from about 1,500 rpm and becomes almost flat from about 3,000 rpm to the red zone. The sedan type is smoother, the skyline type is sportier, and the Fairlady Z34 type has the original performance of the engine. In fact, the acceleration force and operability are completely different, and the critic Yasutaka Gomi describes the VQ37VHR installed in the Fairlady Z34 as "the masterpiece of the NA engine”.

Depending on the intake/exhaust system and ECU settings, the engine itself can produce a high output of 400PS or more in a completely stock state without any mechanical tuning. Therefore, in consideration of fuel efficiency and durability of the engine, the car equipped with the genuine state has a computer setting that considers the output and narrows the diameter of the exhaust system to greatly suppress the output. In the planning of the magazine, the Fairlady Z34, which was produced by Powerhouse Amuse and had only the ECU re-set and the intake and exhaust system replaced, demonstrated an output of 390PS, which is more than 100PS higher than the genuine measured value.
The fuel used is exclusively for unleaded high-octane gasoline, and if regular gasoline is used, an extreme decrease in output and various disadvantages are likely to occur. Therefore, the use of regular gasoline is basically prohibited unless high-octane gasoline is not available.
It is recommended that the engine oil used is 100% chemically synthesized oil containing genuine esters, or oil with a starburst mark for higher performance oil in the API standard. Depending on the car model, Mobil 1 (VR38DETT designated oil for R35) may be recommended by authorized dealers.
Like the predecessor VQ35HR type, it bears the initials of "HR", which stands for "High Revolution" and "High Response".

Nissan HR16DE Engine is a 1.6 litre gasoline 16 valve DOHC engine from the Nissan Motor and Renault Groups. As a successor to the QG engine, it has been installed in small passenger cars and commercial vehicles, starting with the Tiida, which was launched in September 2004.
History
Basically, the models sold in Japan are equipped with HR15DE, and the models sold outside Japan are equipped with HR16DE. The HR16DE is installed in the Nissan Tidalatio model and the Nissan Note manual transmission vehicle.
December 2006, improved. It will be adopted in some vehicles equipped with the conventional type after improving energy efficiency compared to the conventional type by mirror-finishing the camshaft, expanding the operating angle of the CVTC, and adding a regenerative function to the alternator.
April 2009, improved. By reviewing the control of the engine body and the combined Xtronic CVT, the fuel efficiency is further improved, and it is adopted in some models equipped with the conventional type. Later a new version has been released to E-Tech Renault hybrids.
The Renault Group calls it the H4M (H4Mk with dual injectors with variable valve timing. This engine has two fuel injectors per cylinder to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions). Also, Mitsubishi and Mazda call it HR16DE like Nissan.

The Nissan CA18 engine is an in-line 4-cylinder gasoline engine and LPG engine developed and manufactured by Nissan Motors from 1981 to 1993.
History
As a successor to the Z-type engine, it was installed in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The initial SOHC head specification was positioned as a direct successor engine to the Z type the SOHC head specification used twin plugs (per cylinder), and the DOHC head specification used direct ignition as the ignition system. The fuel supply system is combined carburettor and this electronically controlled engine was later given the nickname Plasma or a Nissan ECCS controlled fuel injection system., inheriting the technology of the twin plug rapid combustion mechanism and given the nickname NAPS-X. Using computer analysis, it is 35kg lighter than the Z18 engine.
This CA type Engine is the first DOHC engine in Nissan's Front engine front wheel drive car. The diesel of the same generation is the CD engine, and the successor is the SR engine.
Production for the CA type Engine has now ended.
