UCF3x- Model name of the LS430 in Japan.
x=0, 2001-2003 model, also known as Zenki.
x=1, 2004-2006 model, also known as Kouki.

But that's just the model name, in Japan they are called Toyota Celsior's.


Nothing else comes to mind really.

I am familiar with Celsior
what I was referring to was
vsc vcs, wsp and all the other abb the forum throws around

Don't think their is a list. They aren't too many. If you google the abbreviation every rim you see it, you'll memorize them in no time.

Trust me theyre easy, but would be nice to have a list here for sure.

Lol, Kouki. I love it. I think my obsession with my 04 does make me Kouki.

semar

it would make it easier, rather than always bothering the forum for explanations

Will be good FAQ material.

Please check your sources. Your information is NOT correct.
Zenki is the 05-97 LS400.
Kouki is the 98-2000 LS400.
All LS430s are UCF 30 or UCF31. the difference is not the year.
The 1 indicates factory air suspension in some destination countries. It is not used for US market LS430s.

Zenki and Kouki aren't used in the U.S as abbreviations, they are a popular tag around JDM folks.

I don't know the direct translation, but one basically mean first generation and the other is the next generation.
