Hey guys, as stated below, i'm looking at buying an S13 (92).

How do I tell if the car has VLSD, HICAS, ABS?

(yes, I've used the search button, but didn't turn up any helpful results)

Thanks in advance.

If it says "SUPER HICAS" on your rear 1/4 panel, you have all that. (Unless it's been painted over)If you don't (99% probability), then you don't.

and usually if it has hicas then it has a vlsd and abs. u can check the rear diff cover for an orange sticker, which are on vlsd's. you can get under the hood for a abs module thing. its hard to describe, its on the pass side and the brake lines go from the m/c to it then to the brakes.

also, an ABS light should appear in the dash somewhere when you start the car up.

for

hicas: look at your PS pump if you have 2lines coming out from the back of the pump it's hicas

vlsd: lift up your rear, drop the ebrake and spin the rear wheels. If they spin in same direction = vlsd IF NOT = open diff
