Wondering if my car is really an SE... The pink slip says it is, and on the trunk I have an SE... it's a 1995.

I have: 1995 240sx, that much is definate, burgundy,
AC, power everything, no leather, cruise, came with CD player and factory clarion amps under the rear deck, power antena, 4 lug 15" tuner/mesh style factory wheels, no rear spoiler, no fog lights, no front lip spoiler. Is this just a mistake, and it's just a base with some options? How can I tell for sure, wht am I looking for? I know the SE has an LSD, but I never get on it enough to tell. I'm really missing the wing and 16" wheels though...

Anybody?

Sry man but wat u got isnt a se i think that might be an se trunk lid and it got passed of as an se cause u should have 5 lug , and one srefire way to tell other than that is white face gauges

how much did u pay? &nbsp;'cause the SE is 5x114.3 bolt pattern, so u have the base.

sometimes they do get confused up, 'cause mine is a base model s13, and on my insurance paper, they say it's an SE, so yah, mistakes do happen

Well, that sucks... What all am I missing out on being just a base model?

I still got a good deal, it was only $5000. 78k miles at the time, decent shape all around. The guy I bought it from was some network engineer who didn't know anything about cars, so I doubt he did it. He sold it to me because he bought an Acura TL, and paid WAY too much for it. I just don't see how the title says SE on it... that's wierd.

Yes, I do have the regular guage faces, not white. What else am I missing?

A dealer tried to sell me a "LE" model with no leather, black faces, four lug wheels and no wing. &nbsp;I was all..uh huh. &nbsp;Yeah.

Your missing a lot of fun suspension stuff. &nbsp;From what i hear, the base and the se are different animals entirely when it comes to handling. (whiteline swaybars will fix that right up <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> ) &nbsp;Also, the se gets an interior upgrade. &nbsp;A more form fitting seat with a faggoty pattern on it. &nbsp;Aside from that...nothing more then the guages, fog's, lip spoiler, rear spoiler and 5 lugs that you mentioned.

So what are my wheels, 4X100? I am getting to the point where I need tires replaced, and was planning on getting the 16" off another SE, but I guess that plan won't fly.

they are 4x114.5, the biggest problem going is that 99.99% of all wheels with the 4x114.5 are built for fwd cars, and have the wrong offset, that is they tuck WAY under the fenders

Blame Canada.

There, the "SE" is a US base model and the "LE" is a US "SE". &nbsp;That's the only explanation I have since your car sure ain't like mine.
