LSD standard on Se's?

[Boostage]

I know ABS and Hicas was optional but what about LSD's was that an option too or pretty much standard feature for an SE s14?

[TurboNetic05]

I thought it was standard but when i bought mine i found out it was in fact an open diff. The kid could have just blown the VLSD one and swapped in this one but im not 100% sure if they are standard

[louisdaboois]

rule of thumb, is you have abs, you have an lsd

[bigOdom1]

correct but there are exceptions to that rule

[TurboNetic05]

so if you dont have abs, then you dont have the vlsd?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

If it has HICAS, which came with ABS, which came with VLSD, then you have a VLSD. I'm pretty sure it was an option on S14 SEs... I'm not 100% on that one. As for S13s, only HICAS models or ABS models came with VLSD.

[BoostedCoupe]

so if you dont have abs, then you dont have the vlsd?
not always true. the car could have been ordered with a vlsd without abs. i have owned two se's and they both dont have vlsd's. If they do they are blown or im just dumb and cant fill um.

ABS and VLSD are one single option on US cars, both base and SE. You can't have one without the other, period. 1995 models had it as a separate option for like $1099, 1996 models it came with a package that also added leather interior and the keyless entry/alarm system, called the 'Leather and Security Package', for about $2199 IIRC. All this can be found in the dealer brochures online.

And HICAS was only offered in Japan on the S14.

Ok well I dont have leather seats, or any kind of ABS light on my dash so I guess i have no lsd. thanks for the info.

easiest way to check if you have a VLSD is to check the MODEL ID number that's stamped on the firewall in the engine bay.

Thats what I thought but I didnt want to give out false information

[louisdaboois]

you could always just do a burn out and see how many tire marks you leave behind. =P

[phobos]

you could always just do a burn out and see how many tire marks you leave behind. =P

I was thinking the same :\

[keioffice]

you could always just do a burn out and see how many tire marks you leave behind. =P
yea but he could have an open diff and still do two wheel burnouts going straight. I have a 98 se without abs and it has an open diff.... so i think it was an option

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Yeah, I leave two marks sometimes with my open diff.

[hustlervibes]

Just jack up the rear end of your car and leave it in gear then spin one wheel and see if the other wheel spins in the opposite direction. If it does then you have a VLSD.

dont you mean that he has an open diff? because lsd's spin the same direction

Turn and burn. You'll find out really quick...

[Pank]

that test doesn't really work for vlsd's anyway

[bigOdom1]

vlsd have an orange sticker on them that say VLSD or they should at least

[BattleRoyale]

or get under the rear rack and check under all the grime for the little orange sticker that says vlsd on it

[ms!3]

wouldn't matter anyways. old vlsd is basically the same as an open.

i've always wondered wtf was up with the car.
1995 Base model... no abs, factory VLSD...

[DRFTSAINT]

I have a 1990 SE Hatch, no abs, no hicas, and an open diff, had A/C and Power Steering though... All original parts, biought it off the original owner...

Okay, 240s aren't that old. Of course it had A/C and Power Steering...:loco:

[BoostinGST]

Which has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. S13s had completely different options, especially the SE models. SEs could come stripped with no air, power windows, locks, anything but still have the alloy wheels, front lip, and rear spoiler.

HICAS wasn't even offered until 1991 either.

[projectRDM]

so i have the rarest 240 ever :rofl:

Does your VLSD have an ABS sensor on the snout?

[EDacIouSX]

you could also read the vin # on the car, that'll tell you if you have abs and/or lsd. also, you could just look in your fuse box and if you have a fuse for ABS then you have abs.... unless someone put abs there, also theres an extra box in the engine bay. all for s14s of course...

i also think, but am not sure, that vlsd s14 pumpkins have an orange sticker on the bottom of it...

[BoostinGST]

not sure, if i can remember next time i crawl under there i'll take a look, dont remember ever seeing it though.

maybe in the US.. but here in Canada every single 240 that's 91+ has a VLSD no matter what the options on it were..

[jpotta]

easiest way to check if you have a VLSD is to check the MODEL ID number that's stamped on the firewall in the engine bay.

here's the info:
THE GARAGE GUIDES - 240SX VIN / Model ID Decoding (http://garage.projectraine.com/content_guides/240_vinmid/vinmid01.html)

This is the best and easiest way to tell unless you suspect your diff have been changed out.

Sometimes I wonder what people are searching for when they post in threads like this. You figured, people are looking for answers and would have questions instead of putting in random quips just for the hell of it.
