can you spot the LSD component? is teh stalk for the cruise control different?

 

Not unless you disassemble the rear axle.

 

For 03-05 The base had no power rear view mirrors, no aluminum pedals, no cruise control, HIDs, TCS, and no TPMS.

 

The deeper question is: why do you care?

Are you debating between a Base and an Enhusiast because of...(what?) Function often outweighs cosmetic appearance (and it SHOULD).

That being said, if you're going to modify your vehicle anyway, does it matter? Many Z's are morphed to such a degree, you can't identify it from its factory "appearance", regardless of trim.

 

not because of appearance, because of assurance that you got what you pay for

 

huh? well i dont know but if it goes from 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, its an RSX

 

wow, this has to be the dumbest n00b question yet. you can not visually tell the difference between the Z models since you can pretty much order what you want on the car from the dealer anyway.

 

Assuming no mods were made in the interim, the diff b/t a base and an enthusiast are:

1) Cross-drilled aluminum pedals on the Enthusiast
2) Steering wheel-mounted controls for cruise control/audio controls on the Enthusiast

But, really, honestly, you didn't have to come to this site for this info. All this is available at:

www.nissanusa.com

That's where I looked for about 11-12 months (memorizing the stats of each trim) before I bought my Z. They even have a dealer-locator function that can locate the exact Z you want (with the exact specs) within a reasonable radius of travel to your home.

You should really check it out...I mean...at some point in time...

 

my base has HID's and TPMS

 

Then you dont have a base if it's a 03-05 You don't even know what kind of Z you bought.

Here's a little help man

Edit: I just read your other post. It's not that you don't know what Z you have it's you CANT read. ^. You have an 06. It's completely different in the packaging.

 

This is easy: Look at steering wheel; if it has cruise control buttons it is at least an Enthusiast. If no buttons, its a Base.

 

hmmm i bought a nissan, its got two doors and its pretty quick. It has i think like a zorro emblem on it.....wow

 

 

My Base has power rear view mirrors and it's a 04. I thought all Z's had power rear view mirrors. ????? WTF ?????

 

04 base models do not have power mirrors. Either you do not have a base or somebody added that feature in.

 

Search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have an 03 base with NOTHING, not even vanity mirrors, and the side mirrors are electrically adjustable.

 

Must be an RSX

 

06 Base and up get Bi-xenon lighting and TPMS.
