Best way to know whether it has HICAS, check the chassis code on the plate by the firwall. If it says KRMS13, you have HICAS. I always thought XE was the "SE" version of the pignose.
BTW, HICAS did not come on any LEs. They came on SEs as an option. LEs are a basic SE with leather interior. Hope that clarifies things. BTW, I should know the LE deal, I have one.
THANX for the clerical error
By the way Artic you should post that link to model discriptions. I think you posted it in one of my threads for the 89-94 XE,SE,and LE models, I don't know why I keep forgetting..You posted it about a month ago...It would be very useful for this thread.......
Big Pimpin man..................

Great write up man, keep it up. I got a quick question though, is there any difference between where the cars were manufactured as far as quality of the parts?

All 240sx's were made in Japan. I don't know if you take that as a good or bad thing. LOL

Actually the KA is a USDM patent it was made in Mexico until 1998, then the Japanese started the production line in Japan for the Frontier trucks, and Nissan Altimas. You can verify this from the cam production shown on the JWT cam adendum pages. But still follows the Japanese HADUKEN style assembly line. All silvia's and 240sx chassis's were prefabricated in Japan just to clarify.

I'd assume that it means that it has bigger front and rear sway bars... Maybe there's more to it, but I wouldn't know. lol
