I am currently looking to purchase a 240 and I am wondering what the differences in the types were. For example the 240sx SE had the 5 lugs, but what other differences were there?

Thanks

Are you looking at an S13 ('89-'94) or an S14 ('95-'98).

Answer that first and the differences can be clarified

Ok, here's a quick rundown.

ALL S13's are 4 lug.

'89 and '90 have the KA24E engine, '91+ have the KA24DE.

The only way you're getting an LSD is if you get a hatchback w/ HICAS (i think)

Base models have no powc.er accessories, SE got power mirrors/locks, alloy wheels, etc
