95 S14 LE?

[SuperTurbo]

Hi guys.

I am located in Toronto, and I am wonderin to a 1995 240SX LE edition have ABS at all? (The 1 gen S14)

Back to those days, which few models or edition do Nissan offer, and which one is actually the top one in Canada?

95-96 zenki s14's dont' have a "LE" option. 97 98's do.

95-96 has a base coupe and SE coupe. both trims CAN have abs/vlsd and they might not. to tell if you have ABS, open up the hood, and on top right corner (passenger side) there should be a boxy object with lines connected to it. if it's just a empty space there it means it has no ABS. if it has the boxy object then it means it has aBS.

i'm under the impression that abs and vlsd were factory options not trim options so you might not necessarily have a vlsd even if you have abs or vise versa. to check if you have vlsd there's a trick to tell on the firewall vin plate but easiest way is to see if the differential has a orange VLSD sticker on the side.

good luck spotting out the abs/vlsd.

Hey

Thanks for your help on the ABS part.

You mean the square-ish stuff like... this?

For the sticker, do you have any photos to show me?

thanks

Hi.

You're wrong.

Thanks!

Hi.

You're wrong.

So... what is the difference between coupe, SE, LE model on that yr?

Other than that, can you teach me how do I know does it equipped with LSD?

thanks

[MastaYu]

^that lsd question was akward might come with a vlsd. Usually their is a sticker on the diff

[numbnuts240]

Other than that, can you teach me how do I know does it equipped with LSD?

jack up rear end, spin one wheel. if the other wheel spins in the same direction, then your car is equipped with a vlsd. if the other wheel spins in the opposite direction, then you have an open differential.

as far as trim levels, my zenki didn't have any badging on the back as to what trim it is, but it's equipped with every option available, so i'm still confused about that.

LE = leather edition. so if it has leather, then yeah it's LE. or an SE with leather seats that someone swapped, although i'm not 100% sure if SE's had the option for leather seats...

but yeah, any model could have abs and/or vlsd. find the abs module or there might be an ABS light on the gauge cluster that will come on for a second when you start it if you're not engine savvy. and as far as the vlsd, yeah jack it up and spin a wheel or slide under there and look for an orange sticker on the pumpkin that says VLSD

[supreamS14]

I like to do the burn out test. Do a burn out, look at the mark or mark's, if there is 1 wheel burn out than its an open diff. If there is 2 wheel mark's than its more than likely that it has a vlsd, welded diff, LSD or some other type of locker.

Hi.

You're wrong.

Thanks!

You're half right. The LE option didn't come around until 97, at least in the US.

[nzmoman]

I have an SE/LE with VSLD. White face gauges No ABS and its a 97. An LE is just a basic SE with leather.

I think any car with factory white face has the VSLD because those two options came together, but the others VSLD, Sound package, and ABS where all options to be added to either package...at least thats the way I understand it from a guy at nissan.

Now what I have never seen is an factory SE with no sunroof...

[ArcherV20]

Well maybe being in Canada has something to do with it! My car badged an LE, I still have the little "LE" shadow on my trunk (it was taken off).

Also, just googling 1995 240SX LE brings up a Canadian website that shows the LE model.

http://www.canadiandriver.com/...x.htm

Quote »In '95, Nissan offered two versions: base SE ($23,790) and upscale/sportier LE ($26,990). For '95 and later years, the 240 was offered only in coupe configuration. Previously, Nissan offered both hatchback and coupe versions.

While the steering is sharp and reactions agile, the rear-drive layout leads to poor traction on slippery roads. If you want pure ride comfort, the SE is softer, but it also surrenders something to the firmer-riding LE.

All '95 240s came pretty much loaded: dual airbags, power door locks, windows and mirrors, CFC-free air conditioning, AM/FM cassette, cruise control and alloy wheels. The LE added 16-inch wheels (versus 15-inchers on the SE), high-performance all-season radials, front and rear spoilers, fog lights, leather upholstery and black-on-white gauges. The LE also came with front AND rear stabilizer bars and firmer shock setting for better handling. [/quote]100% right ftw.

[ThuG LyFe]

^i'm still pretty sure the zenki didn't come with a LE option like the koukis did.

there was a scan of the nissan brochoure that shows like every trim and option of all the 240 years. i dont remember there being a LE trim for zenkis. but i think you can get one with leather option on the SE just like how maximas came in SE but could also get leather in the SE package.

[DMan II-40]

95 and 96 DIDNT come in LE models. That site is stupid, it says they offered two trims: base SE and LE (wrong!) The offered Base and SE. if you go on ANY website to find the value of your car, like KKB, there is no option for LE for 95 or 96. My car is also a fully loaded SE (ABS, VSLD, Leather, Fogs, Lip, White gauges, front and rear stabilizer bars)Every time I see ur thing that says 95 LE im always tempted to say something.P.S. It's possible the dealership slapped an LE badge on your 95 and sold it like that to some sap.

[Dittoz7]

My 97' SE Came With The Leather Seats Option.I Believe The LE's Came With Tan Leather Seats, Instead Of Black Like Mine.

[numbnuts240]

i don't think tan leather was offered in 240's, even though i just saw one last week maybe, someone told me it was a re-upholstered job. might have been bart, my short term memory sucks

eh, wouldn't be the first time

yes it is a stupid site. very cool and I like that website alot, but that article isn't valid considering the fact it doesn't have any sources and it can be altered by the public. I was looking at Dr. Steven Hawkings pages once and it was saying how he was a robot killing machine and a secret weapon of the U.S. Try using Wikipedia on a college paper as a source, it wont fly.

The last change came in 1997, when Nissan restyled the front of the car with new, angular headlights and added curvier side sills. A new LE model was also born -- it was essentially an SE with the sunroof, leather seating, keyless entry and alarm.

That picture is from KBB, yet again a more credible source.

[blacksrjdm]

Give me the VIN# and I will tell u all the options on your car.

LOL..wait so your car review site is credible. But my review site from my first post isn't?

Get off your horse man. I think this may be a case where we're both right. Is it possible the LE was only available in Canada? There are plenty of 95 LE's.

I just checked my VIN - It's a "T" For SE! Looks like my LE Badging was definatly fooling someone. (Including me!)

nah, my 97 SE has white gauges, no vlsd (j30 vlsd now), no abs. just saying

[ddgsxr504]

For all the bickering, 95/96's did come with an LE option IN CANADA.

Also the VLSD and ABS was a package. If you don't have one you don't have the other unless someone installed it after the fact. White face gauges have nothing to do with it.

[ThuG LyFe]

^it's weird b/c i heard that you can have one but not other. (abs and vlsd) doesn't really make sense but who knows.

[Taylor008]

Hi.

You're wrong.

Thanks!

ROFL! I soooo want to sig that.

Redeemed!

Feel free to sig my non-sensical guessing and banter. It's playful and cute.

Hey dude, I'm from To too. I've got a 95 LE and I'm certain that the LE's come standard with ABS, VLSD, white gages, leather and the premium Stereo...and possibly a few extras.

The reason why they come standard with the ABS and the VLSD is because of all that white crap on the ground most of the year.
