how do you tell if a s14 has abs or not?

[senioritis]

just like what the title says. I know s14's with abs has to be se models but is there anything else i can use to distinguish the difference? i found a junk yard with like 9 s14's and was hoping to take one of their LSDs. =p

I believe there should be a fuse/relay for it if it's got ABS. Or you could just lock up your brakes and see if you can feel the ABS or not.

It may be in the archived files, but it you run a search about VIN and LSD, you should be able to find a thread about checking the VIN to see if there's limited slip. try a few different searches.

yeah...there's probably a letter in the vin that'll let you know...I have no idea really though...

Yup! If you don't have an ABS fuse, then you ain't got one.

either that or get under the car and look for a pumpkin with a orange sticker

also, if it's not an SE dont waste your time

1. Take your car in a safe place in the rain/snow2. Drive super fast3. Apply brakes hard

If you hear thumping noise and feel pulses in the pedal.. You have ABS.

If you hit a ______ you dont have ABS.

Edit: another thing I think if you have ABS you should have ABS light in your dash when you have your key in "ON" position

You obviously didn't read his post, or just forgot that he's refering to cars THAT ARE IN THE JUNKYARD! lol

Just look under the hood for an abs unit. It's a box that has a bunch of brake lines going to it. It's right in front of the passenger side firewall. Don't look forever for it. If you don't see one after looking for 30 seconds, it's not there.

It's referred to as an ABS Actuator.... It's in the top passenger-side corner of the engine bay. If it has ABS... you could follow the breaklines that cross the firewall and lead to the Actuator.Or if there is NO ABS... then the breaklines that cross the firewall bend down at a 90* angle and follow to the bottom of the firewall

WTF Im a freakin retard... I need more coffee

Since Ive been a tool here is a diagram of what everybodys talking about... the ABS actuator..

[senioritis]

wow that was a fast reply. thanks =) ill check all the cars. 7 out of the 9 cars are se's so im bound to find one =). I figured the pumpkin color sticker could fall off or something.

9 S14s in one junkyard? Wow.I live in Montreal, and in the whole province, there were about 300 S14s sold, they are impossible to find in junkyards...

If any of these has a manual transmission , could you buy the pedals (brake and clutch?) ? I would pay for shipping + how much they cost you + decide a fair amount for your cut...

I am looking hard for these..Please email me at [email protected] ! Thanks.

[senioritis]

yeah. its owned my japanese people. and the junk yard is 2 blocks from irwindale speedway (the first d1 gp held in usa) (10 mins away from me =) ) they drive 240sx and truenos themselves. but yeah they over price =(. ill ask dem for the pedals

[eliterit]

take the car down the road going 100mph . slam on the brakes. if you stop straight then you probably have abs.

if you dont and you end up sliding all over the place and possibly crashing. then you dont have abs

j/k dont really do that

[gepeto]

senioritis : Thank you very, very much. It's hard living in Montreal with an S14 !! Took me almost 3 months to find a manual/no-abs driveshaft..

[senioritis]
