R = Hatchbackp = Sr20M = KA24DE

So RPS13 Means S13 Hatchback, SRmotor (180sx)A silvia would be a PS13

I have never heard of "H" if 240_Kevy is right than H stands for either the KA24E or the CA motor.

the back of the car is fast (cuz that's whar them weels wit power is at) therefore it is a Fastback.

Never looked at a 240, I have a Silvia and a 180SX. Maybe the "m" and the "h" are for SOHC KA24 and DOHC KA24:confused:
