Actually....you are only partially correct yourself.
The hatchback 240sx was the only 240sx offered with the "Handling package" (ABS, Super Hicas, and VLSD) If someone has ABS it does not mean they automatically have a vlsd or hicas for that matter. If the car is a hatchback and has the super hicas system it might have a vlsd. The only ways to find out if you have a lsd or vlsd is to jack the rear up and spin one wheel if the other spins in the same direction.....lsd.
Since a vlsd locks the rear wheels when the gear oil has reached a particular temperature finding out if you have one requires something else. In most cases the pumpkin will have an orange sticker on it. Then again....spinning one wheel is not going to hurt anyone. The only other options are to figure out what came with the car in stock form.
As mentioned earlier the hicas system was only as an option for hatchbacks. If you have a hatchback....great! Look on the rear quarter panel near the door for the words "Super Hicas" printed on the black stripe that runs down the side of the car. If for some reason the black stripe is gone...look into the engine bay for two high pressure power steering return lines. If you have only one.....you don't have hicas. Next, check the brake master cylinder for two hardlines coming out of it. If you have three hard lines you don't have ABS. From there check the differential.
Then again.....you can go the easy route and look at the metal tag mounted on the firewall inside the engine bay. If you have hicas you will have a "K" in the model identification. (IE. RMKS13)
Anyway...if you have any questions feel free to ask.
