How do you tell if car is SE???

[Hypertek99]

I have a 89 240sx how can you tell if it's a SE or not??? Does the SE come with Limited slip??? I bought the car used and it has no badges on it.

AFAIK no 89s came with vlsd, and all hatches were SEs, and coupes XE.

If you can post the vin # I can check on NADA at work (Bank) and it will tell me the model. ( and value)

and you are quoting a very out of date incorrect faq from socal 240sx.org, just because it was a hatch in 89 did not make it automatically a SE .
There were base models that were hatchs that were not SE . SE's had power windows,bigger swaybars, teardrop wheels, some came with sunroofs , some did not. some came without the rear spoiler , some came without the front se lip spoiler. fact is there was a lot of option delete stuff going on in the 89-90 model years.
In 91 the SE model was more standardized . It came with the sunroof, 7 spoke wheels , rear spoiler, power windows, bigger swaybars.
In 1992 again the option delete came back into play and we saw SE's without sunroofs!! This only happened in 92 thus why 92 se no sunroofs are very sought after. 92 was the only S13 dual cam model year that came SE no sunroof in Fastback. It was also something that was seen in the coupes in 92 as well though there are a few se no sunroof 91 coupes as well.

those faqs on 240sx.org were written back in the day, when they were some members here in socal, who felt they knew everything and had it figured out. They used some option sheets they obtained from one Nissan dealer as the basis for their reasoning.
Since then, many of us here in socal have noted there were mistakes, but the main moderator at socal240sx.org choose to leave those up because the people that wrote them were his buddies . Call it old school nepotism to and effect.

dave, your knowledge ceases to impress me.

If dave is the guy posting above I too have a rather lackluster sentiment towards him.

FACT: ALL Zenki 89-90 Fastback were SE. Regardless of Amendities or Luxuries.
FACT: All Coupes were XE "above."
FACT: NO US Bulit S chassis in the duration (89-90) had Factory VLSD/ABS.
FACT: Anything that came close anything like a Special package was the "Sports Package" it was offered through Nissan in limited numbers (I have one) I have been told they came in TH1 Only (one of the first and more rare GTR colors) but others claim they come in other colors as well.

I do not have an affirmation but i do know that they offered them with Teardrops/Power everything/AC/Better sound system/Supposed stiffer springs/Single chrome exauhst and 205/60 Tires and an option of non aero.

Hmm, there is so much more carp to talk about these year cars, but I have Bio on the mind. Spent most of my early teens researching these cars until I found mine.

Seriously... This is as bad if not worse than a Makato post...

Don't you guys just love pissing contests?

look, i dont know what kinda crack your retarded nutsack is smoking but apparently you lack the common decency needed to leave my name (though improperly READ and SPELLED) out of your bullcrap. i just might have contributed more to this forum than your retarded feeble mind has in the last couple years so i'd appreciate it if you refrain from dragging my name through your feces because you lack the testicular fortitude needed to create your own comprehensive analysis of the present situation.

and now i must quote jimmy pop

I hope ya flip some guy the bird
He cuts you off and you're forced to swerve
In front of the Beatles' tour bus
A Bookmobile and a Mack truck
Hauling hazardous biological waste
The light turns red you have no brakes
And "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape
So you can see the look on your face

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope your Pinto begins to spin
Takes out a disabled Vietnam Veteran
Mows down a Nobel Peace Prize Winner
And maybe some orphans having Christmas dinner
Perhaps even the British Royal Family
And the Rabbi that's clutching the bottle-fed puppy
And we can't forget the newlyweds
And those Jerry's Kids are as good as dead

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die

I hope your cellmate thinks he's God
But C.N.N. refer to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob"
Serving time again for abuse of a corpse
Only this time the victim's a Clydesdale horse
While he masturbates to photos of livestock
He does the "Silence of the Lambs" dance to Christian Rock
Eats feces and quotes from "Deliverance"
And fights with his imaginary playmate Vince

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die
Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson
And forces you to play a game called "Balls On Chin"
And whatever happens next is all a blur
But you remember "fist" can be a verb
And when you finally regain consciousness
You're bound and gagged in a wedding dress
And the prison guard looks the other way
?Cause he's the guy ya flipped the bird the other day

I hope this helps to emphasize
I hope this helps to clarify
I hope you die'

the end.
