Hey guys. It has been a while since I have been able to work on my 240, but I am getting ready to get some new pads and rotors.

I just can't remember how to tell if I have ABS or not. I have a 95 240sx SE manual with NO VLSD, and no ABS lights come on when I start my car.

I'm sure I have answered my own question with the light not coming on, but I just want to make sure so I don't get the wrong kind of front pads.

Thanks.

P.S.
Since I'm sure this has been asked about 6 billion times (really hard to find accurate results with the search...) I will delete this after I get an answer.

If the light doesnt come on, I doubt you have ABS.

Also, look at your master brake cylinder and tell us how many lines you have coming out of it.

Ok, sorry for my lack of knowledge on this subject, but the Master brake cylinder is the thing up by the firewall on the driver's side right?

If so it has 3 hard lines coming out of it.

Thanks.

Yeah, 3 lines + no light = non-ABS

3 lines coming out of the master cylinder = NO abs
