Thanks,

*ALL* NX2000's came with the viscous limited-slip differential from the factory.

There wasn't many changes with the NX2000 over the years, other than color and options. In '93, the mouldings were now body-colored instead of grey, and the instrument cluster was changed (tach and speedo switched sides, and gas and temp needles went up and down instead of side-to-side.) From an engine standpoint, no changes whatsoever.

91&92 had cable driven speedo's - 93's had electrical ones...

Having owned all three years - pretty much everything else was the same except the above mentioned items.

Wasn't there something about the t-tops? Standard and optional? I don't know for sure.

hmm...guys lots of differences here. ofcourse you know the gauge pods changed in 93, to the backwards ones, right? then, in 93 the nx switched from a cable driven speedometer to an electric one with a speed sensor, changing the wiring harness slightly, the ecu programming slightly for the built in check engine code for the vss(vehicles speed sensor) and the speedometer drive gear that goes into the transmission. hmm....lets see...as far as i know 91 and 92 nxen came with foglight switches to the left and slightly under the steering wheel, but in 93 they switched it over to where the hazard and rear defrost switches are, like all the classics. there are a few other differences im sure, but those are the main ones.

Hey guys don't forget about production numbers. Supposedly only like 293 or so of them were sold in the country in 93. I am glad I got one.:D

What about the airbag & the ac on the 93's? I know the 91's did'nt have an airbag.

also...the power steering resevoirs are different on some of them, too. some leak and some tend not to leak as badly.

I think only 91' in canada didn't have an airbag - my '91 has one...

Also - the other guy is right - they did change PS resivors.

Y'all are pretty much accurate. Just to summarize, since I've got a 91 and 93 in the garage, a 93 at my brother's, and a couple other 92 & 93s of friends'....

* ALL 1991, 92 & 93 NXen in the USA had airbags. Otherwise, they would be required to have some other "passive restraint" like those miserable motor-mouse seat belts.
* 93 introduced striped interior upholstery (which I like better)
* 91 & 92 had light or dark grey molding around the head lights and the side strips, 93 it was all body color (much cleaner looking)
* 93 gauges changed, as mentioned previously. Also electrical vs cable speedo drive.

And now for the truly trivial shit...
* 91 & 92 had gold colored valve cover with spark plug valley painted black. 93 was all gold. Later SR20s (pptooth!) had bare aluminum.
* My 91 NX2k's fog light switch is a rocker on the left of the dash, by the cluster dimmer. 93 has it on the center console by the defog and hazard flasher switches. 92????
* 93 has Different engine bay wiring harness with cable run secured to end of valve cover, above the belts.
* 93 introduced transaxle breather tube (the open-ended "J" shaped tube by your intake and master cylinder) 91 & 92 had stubby metal breather valve on tranny.
* Think the 93s had a different factory radio / cassette unit, but who still has that anyway?! (oops - I do)
* 92 1/2 and 93 with A/C did away with seal on hood where it contacts radiator support (per TSB NTB92-112, 12/9/92).
* 93 has different, lighter A/C compressor and bracket.
* 93s don't have the air-bleeder port on the heater hose.

I dare ya' to come up with more! (exclusive of non-US cars!)

(that thing that your speedo cable is hooked to on your 91 or 92 se-r trans, little gear that goes into the tranny? i completed my auto to manual swap, but my trans is a 93, and my automatic drive gear is,,, DESIGNED DIFFERENTLY!!! I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER! any help would be appreciated, the part is 100 dollars my cost at nissan. screw that.

I think the 91 and 92 came with a leather wrapped steering wheel. My 93 has a plastic wheel. I think they got cheap with the 93's.

You guys also left out some things as well on the 93 which came in mine, power windows and door locks, cruise control and abs brakes, mine also came with the factory radio and cd player where cup holder is, talk about rare as hell, i have yet to be able to see one like what i have, i think i have seen maybe one or two with those options

Mine had everything yours has. Removed most of it though.
