Hey guys. I was wondering,
a) What’s the main difference between 1995 LE and 1997 SE? aside from
the obvious face-lift and the year of production. :roll:
b) What’s the difference between 98 SE and 98 LE?
looked around many forums but couldn’t find one. So I’m
posting one.
a) Leather, the face lift you’re taling about, factory security sytem, no stanard sunroof on SE. I think I own the only '98 SE without a sunroof. It must have been a cheap option because most S14’s I’ve seen have them.
b) Leather, sunroof not standard on the SE, security system. Both had sway bars and stiffer suspension unlike the 95-96 SE which had neither.
Canadian 97-98 SE’s were much better equipped because we never got the “base” model that the U.S. got (4 lug, no sways, lsd, etc)
The only other difference I can think of durring all 4 model yars was a premium audio upgrade.
My kouki SE is only missing leather and sunroof. The two worst things about the LE haha.
I have 5 bolt and ABS but thats because all koukis have 5 bolt and ABS. SE and LE matters more between the zenki’s.
I’ve only been in three S14s, all zenki and I found the leather to be a big deal. And the BLACK interior. The first S14 I was in, was cloth, gray interior, and I honestly felt my S13 was better. Then I got to sit in Walter’s S14, black, leather, and I though it was awesome. It was his car that made me like S14s. And then I got to ride in a turbo S14, and that really made me like them
haha, I wouldn’t want leather seats for free. Nissan leather is about one step above vinyl. I think it’s from all the tofu the Japanese feed thier cows.
The S14a came in 2 trims, SE and LE. Here are the descrepencies:
SE to LE upgrades for the S14s:
Leather seats
Sunroof
Lower front chin spoiler
Fog lights
5 bolt wheel hubs
5 star alloys
Side skirts
Rear trunk spoiler
Suspension: upgraded front struts, but same springs
Rear sway bar
Keyless entry
Alarm
Variable wiper speed
Upgraded stereo system
SE: tires = 195/60R115 ; LE: 205/55R16
As for the S14 SE to LE from 1997-1998, I’m not exactly sure. But the list could be similar.
