Lance is on top of things here. The point of the rule was to eliminate the quasi-hybrid in which someone took a base model car (i.e., 4 gen. Honda hatchback), installed all the SI goodies, but did away with the sunroof and the other heavier items. As Lance said, as long as it could have been purchased from the factory a certain way, you are good to go.
The example of Neon throttle bodies is perfect: you can't go to your dealer and say you'd like a 5 speed w/ the throttle bodies of an auto or the final drive ratio of some other variant.
Similarly, let's take a hypothetical case and say that vlsd was available as an option on ALL S14s, but that it only came with ABS. In that case, you can only run the vlsd IF you also have an ABS equipped car b/c that's the only way it came.
Those cards on 240sx.org don't seem to be too helpful in proving that it was a stand-alone option, despite the fact that it was debated to death years ago by original owners who bought cars with vlsd but not abs. In this case, you need some sort of literature, etc. from an authority stating that a vlsd, non-abs car could be had from the factory.
Good luck with that.
