Aside from being an illegal substance, it is available on 2002 6-speeds. Is there any additional badging on the car that would let someone know that you had it? I saw an SE yesterday with some badging under the SE on the rear deck. Not sure what it said. It was a longer word and from a glimpse it may have said "supercharged" but I could not read fast enough. Does the stillen kit come with this badge. Regardless, I did not attempt a race for 3 reasons.
1. If it was supercharged regardless of 2001 or 2002 I would have gotten my a$$ kicked.
2. If it was a 2002 with or without LSD I would have gotten my a$$ kicked.
3. Regardless of options or year, my Camry would have gotten it's a$$ kicked.

There was a 4th gen Maxima trying to keep up with it though.

 

Nope, there is no additional badging. If you can see inside the car, the drilled pedals will generally indicate HLSD, although the pedals can be obtained and installed separately.

 

there must be some other way to tell though. for when these cars are at car dealerships as used cars. since the pedals can be easily switched there has to be a way to tell if it really has HLSD

 

Additional badging was for the "20th Anniversary Edition"

 

Yeah, I'm thinking you saw somebody like me...an AE with the 2K2 tails...that would look just like the back-end of a 2K2 as we both have the rear valence...but the AE would have that little AE logo.

 

YES-You are exactly what I saw. Do you live in Columbus, OH? I couldn't read the badge quickly enough.

 

Nope...unless Colubus, OH is somewhere near Seattle, WA...it wasn't me.

 

Mine didn't even list HLSD on the window sticker, I was worried for awhile that even after ordering it specifically with HLSD that somebody had screwed up and sent me the wrong car. But, I have the drilled pedals, and after the superlative performance in a couple snowstorms, I'm convinced I have it. There may be a piece of the VIN that indicates HLSD, but I have no idea where there is a breakdown available to view.

 

man the last time I dropped some lsd was like 5 years ago!!!

maaaaad hard to find in NYC these days.......

 

I think both our cars were from the first batch as I had no HLSD on the window sticker but it was on the invoice. The dealer ordered and got me the proper sticker.

 

HLSD wannabe here............OR......NOT!!!

Torqsteer??? whats that??

 

I believe cars with HLSD have the drilled pedals and perforated leather seats. I have neither....

 

no perforated leather seats.

 

Perforated leather was another Anniversary Edition feature.

 

No perf cloth seats!

 

Canadian website says Perforated leather...late availability along with the drilled pedals.

 

hmm. interesting. i dont think i wanted it anyway

 

with perforated seats).

When they do hit the lots, our Canadian buddies will have something else to enjoy...

I know I really like them in my AE and actually used that as one of the deciding factors to get the AE rather than a plain SE. They seem to feel more comfortable and 'breathe' so when you sit or move in them, they respond better (air not trapped under a larger surface area).

In my opinion, I like 'em...
