yup they are triangle things lol. They are in a round hold, so each side gets something, one gets the gas, one side is for combustion and the last side is the exhaust. Really simple engines that can handle alot. Dont last too long with forced induction though, but you can rev the hell out of them. The rx8 thats comeing out with the new rotory is supposed to redline at 9500 rpms, and thats from the factory, just think of what you could do with something like that.

i just know they have some triangular things that rotates on the rotors and compresses and decompresses the valves or something like that. or maybe i was just lied to..

the only moving part inside the engine are the rotors (the triangle thing) and the eccentric shaft that connects to the flywheel. a VERY simple design really
he i just said i had a really slight idea, i never said i could explain in detail.

One of the earliest Silvia's was a rotary, so Nissan's been there too!
