I was browsing the Internet today and came across this fun little fact. Sorry if it has been brought up before, but I thought it was neat enough to share.
Nissan often uses the number 23 in racing because the number 2 translates to "ni", and the number 3 translates to "san". The number 23 translates to "ni-san".
