Sup guys i just out of the dsm game, just picked up a clean s14..been looking for a clean one forever! Now i have an interesting question..is my s14 a base model or SE? Help!

Features of the car:
LSD
ABS
I typed the VIN on carfax and it says 240sx/SE..but this is what makes my car a base model hybrid..
No rear sway bar
Black gauge cluster
Base model seats
No lip
4 lug konigs

Previous owner bought the car from a dealership in 04..they re-sprayed it and put 4 lug wheels on it..I'm pretty sure they moved the 240sx badge from the drive to the passenger side rear. Car is completely STOCK. Any help guys?

It could be a base model that had a dealer installed ABS system.

However, I know in the S13s, there was always a rear sway bar, and I have never worked on an S14 without one (and I've worked on both base and SE trims)

Does it have sunroof and/or the 6 speaker stereo? My buddy got a base model with all options a few years ago, it had all the big upgrades, had to have been a business woman's car.

mine has every option under the sun for 1995, but it didn't have an "se" badge on it.

Dealer as back in 95 or just recently? Everytime i start my car the ABS brake lights up..(factory?) So basically i have an SE base model.
