180SX to 200SX
Here's a question, why didn't Nissan change the name to 200SX when the (JDM) 180SX got the SR20DET instead of the CA18DET??

The 200sx in Japan is the Silvia. Since the Silvia had the name of 200sx, there would be too much confusion, so they just left it 180sx. The same here in America. We have two S13 240sx's. Which I think nissan shouldn't have done. Because when you talk to someone and just say "S13 240sx", they have no idea if it is a coupe or fastback (not like it really matters since almost all the parts will swap).
