Not true. The only way an s13 has abs is if it has the HICAS gizmo. ABS was its own seperate option.

However, in an s14, the lsd and abs came as a package. Go look for any year s14 with abs, and you will have the lsd.

Use these pages for reference:http://www.socal240sx.org/faq/1993.html - notice that abs was a seperate option, and lsd came with the HICAS package.http://www.socal240sx.org/faq/1995.html - notice that for an s14, abs and lsd came as a package.

This means, all you owners who did that wheelspinning test(myself included), you wasted your time.

Hopefully this puts the misunderstanding to rest. Sheesh...

HICAS was a option for the S13 that used a four wheel steering system. if the car had HICAS it also came with ABS brakes and a vlsd. some like the 4WS, some dont. not good for drifting

Okay, isn't a VLSD bad for drifting and an LSD good for drifting. I've just bought a 98 240sx SE w/o ABS, do i have an LSD?
