I am looking at this site, but really, I have no idea how to tell if my car is abs or not.

I thought that 4 lug was 4 lug, didn't matter... what's the difference?

Pop your hood and see if you have ABS....

[Z33dori]

big huge metal box right next to your wiper motor

[dori_sil8t]

why dont u ask ur car?
abs rotors are bigger
like stated above ull see the abs unit beside the wiper motor
two lines coming out of the master cylinder

[nismo tuned s14]

Slam on your brakes and see if you slide.

Lol. You would think that would go without saying.

[roboticnissan]

drive your car slam on your brakes see what happens

[silentstyle1]

1) slam on your brakes
2) check for the abs box
3) look for the abs light on your dash.
4)search vin

[xplicit240]

well if your car works out and does sit ups. it should have ABS. if it does nothin all day and eats chips then it wont have ABS.

other wise look in your engine bay =)

all try slamming on your brakes =)

[IIIXziuR]

[ZenkiCam]

Horrible. ABS was an option only, included with VLSD. So to properly word that, most S14 SEs do not have ABS. Base models it's even more rare to have since it was only offered in 1995. 96-98 US market base models were never offered with ABS.

Alright tell me this my car I think is registered as an se. Has oem spoiler and sunroof, but has all basemodel solid grey interior with black gauge face. On top of that it has abs. It's a 95. Hope not thread jacking but I feel is related. I had the same question my self when I got my new rotors.

So I'm suppose to have vlsd, even being automatic?

You're dead certain it has ABS? If so and it's a US model it should have VLSD. I've never seen an open diff with an ABS sensor in the snout. Candaian market cars got VLSD without ABS, but it's unheard of to have the opposite.
Additionally, your car it is NOT an SE. Spoiler could be added (and probably was) at the dealer or aftermarket and the sunroof was an option on both base and SE, it was not standard on either model. An SE would have to also have 5lugs, front lip, foglights, white face gauges, and driverside lumbar support. Not to mention the 6speaker CD system, power antenna, keyless security, and the patterned cloth on the seats/doors. You just have a fully loaded base model, nothing more.

By 6 speaker you mean the additional tweeters on the a pillar? If so I have them as well. The factory amp looks to have been bypassed os I took it out a while back. Your probably right about the spoiler. But yeah I'm 4 lug, and didn't have a lip which is why I had to buy one. Also don't have fogs.

Now back to the abs..I have abs...I have the abs light on the dash and the module with the lines running to the master cylinder and what not.

O yeah the first letter of my VIN from left to right is J, if that makes a difference

[xkamikazestormx]

s13s ahd it too but not all s14 SEs have them

[allntrlundrgrnd]

please dont tell people to slam on their brakes. if you cant tell, you shouldnt be driving.

android lookin thing in back left=abs

[I10cruiser]

88 rotors would probably give you a better deal on brakes and rotors . .imho gl

[Enjin]

cool I will call and talk to them.

that big android looking thing? HELLLZZ NO do NOT have it.

the reason I ask is because the car was owned by a former TUNER!!!, where he removed most of the things from the engine bay.

[ZX88]

[LayNLow]

Damn son, for realz? I thought you were better than this. You sadden me Mr H. But if you need some non abs rotors to compare to ill swing by when your free.

[SlideWell]

Technically they can't be any thinner than OE, the pads would fall out. They may be a lower grade material or warped/cut poorly, but that's it.

i guess im just used to my gtr brakes

[derek_s13]

yeah, my car's registered as an LE because my insurance company doesn't give a fuck, but it's an SE.

they don't car what trim level your car is. it's just a fat bitch on a computer clicking Se or LE.

don't go by a fuckin registration man, use your head.

[WaNa-DrIft]
