I noticed that alot of people don't know common internet abbreviations and some new people don't know 240sx related abbreviations, so why not list them and send it to the archives <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> I'll start, you guys add some and then i'll move it to the FAQ area.

S13 wasnt a chassi code on a 240sx...
It's what people call them derived partially from their real code and their silvia counterpart..
The chassis codes I know are as follows...
'88-'90 S13 Silvia CA18DET
'90-'91 RS13 180SX CA18DET (R for fastback)
'91-'93 PS13 Silvia SR20DET (P for SR)
'91-'98 RPS13 180SX SR20DET (no distinction between the two different minor model change, last minor change was the inclusion of the double round lights and a more squarish front bumper.)
'91-'93 KPS13 Silvia (K for SuperHicas)
'91-'93 KRPS13 180SX
'89-'90 HS13 240SX KA24E (H for KA24E)
'89-'90 RHS13 240SX FB
'91-'94 MS13 240SX (dunno chassis code for convertables)
'91-'93 RMS13 240SX FB(M for KA24DE)
'91-'93 KRMS13 240SX FB w/ SuperHicas
'91-'93 KMS13 240SX w/ SuperHicas (Canadian market only).
'94-'98 S14 Silvia SR20DET
'94-'98 CS14 Silvia w/ SuperHicas
'95-'98 S14 240SX KA24DE (no specific S14 code for KA24DE)
And then S15's were just called S15..
I thoght BPU was Basic Performance Upgrades -- or at least that's what I've heard. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Someone correct me.
Don't forget
TMIC - top mount intercooler
BPU+ - basic performance upgrades "plus"
BPU++ - " " " " plus
TT - Turbo Timer
....?

We can't say that TT is a turbo timer. Otherwise 300zx tt looks / sounds kinda dumb.
TT is usually twin turbo.
Like vg30dett, rb26dett, z32 tt, ect...
