What does RPS13 stand for?

Mainly the RP? S13 is obvious.

just curious…

2

R= hatchback
P= SR20

S13= Silvia/180sx chassis

I thouhgt ‘R’ was the S’R’ 20 designation

4

Nope, Denis is correct. P is for SR20DET. There is also an SR20DE model which is not an RP.

5

Yeah mine says RHS13 on the V/N plate… So i’m assuming all S13a’s are “R H” aswell? I’m kinda curious to know what S13b with kade’s say…

RS13 = 180SX, ca18det, s13
S13 = Silvia, ca18det, s13

RPS13 = 180SX, sr20det, s13
PS13 = Silvia, sr20det, s13

RHS13 = 240SX hatch, ka24e, s13
HS13 = 240SX coupe, ka24e, s13

RMS13 = 240SX hatch, ka24de, s13
MS13 = 240SX coupe, ka24de, s13

Any questions?

Mine’s an RMKS13. I believe the K is for HICAS models.

Also Mike, I edited your post for clarity :wink: There are other models you did not list, but I don’t have a clue what the codes are.

Oh that’s right. HICAS. bleh it’s stupid so I try not to think about it.

Thanks for the edit :slight_smile:

'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)
