Actually I'm confused about the chassis code, I've always read that the first gen is an FB33, yet the 2nd and 3rd gens are FC3S and FD3S, yet the vins of both read as FC33 and FD33. Where does the 3S come from? What does it mean?

Well, the VIN isn't necessarily the chassis code.

FWIW, RX-8s are FEs. VINs are all "JM1FE..." though I don't know what the actual chassis code is.
