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… ---

Mine’s an RMKS13. I believe the K is for HICAS models. Also Mike, I edited your post for clarity 😉 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 🙂 BTW a much more comprehensive list can be found on zilvia’s faq page: * * * ## '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) Although I don’t think the KMS13 is Canadian market only. COLES NOTES: [no letter] = ca18det P = sr20det H = ka24e M = ka24de R = hatchback body K = HICAS
