Hi i'm a newbie to RWD World, i had a DSM before but got stolen and i had to buy something quick, well a 96 240SX came buy and it was a something i couldn't resist.

Hola pancito,

Welcome to the Nissan world! RWD is kinda fun isn't it? The SE is loaded with power options that didn't come on the base model cars. Cruise control is another option that I think was standard on the SE. Your car is known as an "S14". I drive a '92 240, which was known as the "S13" from '89 to '94. Some SE's came with a limited slip differential, but not too many. The SE also had a 5 lug wheel bolt pattern, whereas the base model was still a four bolt pattern in '96, if memory serves correctly. The only downside that I see to the SE is additional weight over the base model.

Am I missing anything? If so, I'm sure I will be corrected!

Any pics of your car? Five speed or auto?
