Acronym

Acronyms don't have to spell a word.

They do; if you are to use the word in its strictest sense. You can decompose the root words.

Websters might have acquiesced to common (incorrect) usage, but Webster's is crap.

Here's a few that are pretty common on this site:
6MT - 6-spped Manual Transmission
7AT - 7-speed Automatic Transmission
ABS - Anti-lock Braking System
AC, A/C - Air Conditioning
BCM - Body Control Module. Controls most non-drivetrain functions.
CAI - Cold Air Intake
CAN - Controller Area Network. The car's Ethernet.
CEL - Check Engine Light
DD - Daily Driver
DIY - Do It Yourself
DTC - Diagnostic Trouble Code. What the car thinks is wrong. Read with an ODB scanner.
E85 - 85% Ethanol (15% gasoline)
ECM - Engine Control Module (sometime ECU)
ESCL - Electronic Steering Column Lock (see SLU). Lots of failures on early models.
FI - Forced Induction, Fuel Injection
FSM - Factory Service Manual. If you plan on working on your Z, this is the bible.
HID - High Intensity Discharge
HU - HeadUnit
HVAC - Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning
JDM - Japanese Domestic Market
LSD - Limited Slip Differential
MAF - Mass Air Flow
NVH - Noise, Vibration, and Harshness
OBD - On-Board Diagnostics.
OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
OTD - Out The Door. Total price of car.
RPM - Revolutions Per Minute
SES - Service Engine Soon light
SLU - Steering Lock Unit (see ESCL)
SRS - Supplemental Restraint System
TCM - Transmission Control Module (automatic)
TPMS - Tire Pressure Monitoring System
TSB - Technical Service Bulletin. Similar to a recall.
TT - Twin Turbo
VDC - Vehicle Dynamic Control
VLSD - Viscous Limited Slip Differential
VVEL - Variable Valve Event and Lift

The GI (General Information) section of the FSM has the official Nissan acronyms/abbrevs. Eg:
FSM Color Codes
B = Black
W = White
R = Red
G = Green
L = Blue
Y = Yellow
LG = Light Green
BR = Brown
OR or O = Orange
P = Pink
PU or V (Violet) = Purple
GY or GR = Gray
SB = Sky Blue
CH = Dark Brown
DG = Dark Green
When the wire color is striped, the base color is given first, followed by the stripe color: Example: L/W = Blue with White Stripe
