NOS=brand
N2O=nitrous oxide
Correct me if I'm wrong

 

Add NA = Naturally Aspirated

FYI in some circles NOS also stands for New Old Stock (like in my old corvette parts catalogs). However don't some folks also use NOS when referring to Nitrous Oxide?

 

Well said.

 

Sadly yes, they do. NOS has always meant your meaning for me as well.

Half of the stuff in that list doesn't apply to us, like 'controlled center differential'.

 

Here are a few, including some that probably don't belong in the list because they are already known by all.

MPH - miles per hour
KPH - kilometers per hour
PSI - pounds per square inch (tire pressure)
ET - elapsed time (usually referring to quarter mile time)
FP -foot pounds (used in torquing wheels)
HP - horsepower
CC - cubic centimeter (engine displacement; generally used with smaller engines)
TC or TCS - traction control system
EBD - electronic brake force distribution
SRS - supplemental restraint system (airbags, etc)
LATCH - lower anchors and tethers for children
CVT - continuously variable transmission
TPMS - tire pressure monitoring system
Cd - Nissan's terminology for Cf (drag coefficient)

 

Cd is coefficient of drag, not Cf. Cf is an oversimplification, as drag includes impact and pressure resistance as well as skin friction.

FI = Forced Induction or Fuel Injection

RTFM = Read the f'in manual.

 

EGR = Exhaust gas recirculation.
PCV = Positive crankcase ventilation.

 

SS= stainless steel, as in brake lines


Xoomer: are you going to edit your first post by adding all the suggestions so there is one comprehensive list?

 

yessir, all up to here has been added

 

Don't hate, PARTICIPATE!

 

Mods: Make this a sticky

Xoomer: Add R&R= remove and replace

 

IACV Intake air control valve
CTS Coolant Temp sensor
?CPS Crankshaft Postion Sensor
CRPS ??
EGR Exhaust Gas Recirc
FIC Fast Idle Cam
FPR Fuel Pressure Regualtor
POS Piece of ****
TB Throttle body

 

FSM

I dont know what it means but it has something to do with piggy back computers. Check the UTEC thread on here.

 

Fsm=Factory service manual.

 

OOOh, ok, thanks Swee!!!

 

Thought that was "idle air control valve"
EDIT: also add, IAT=intake air temp sensor
and what about 00VI = 2000 variable intake and MEVI = middle eastern variable intake

 

can someone confirm?

 

You bet Deus.

 

It is Idle Air Control Valve = IACV. I had to mess with one on my Celica when I cleaned my throttle plate.

 

6th gens do not have an IACV.
