The 91-94 S13’s redlined at 6900rpm Chances are the car you drove is sick and should be shot to preserve the rest of the herd. ---

LMAO!! :lol: :lol: :lol: EDIT - Sorry forgot about the topic. 😛 I think the dealership did some shady tuning on it where it wont go past 5500 so you wont knotice the big bang when you hit 6900. ---

yeah i think its totally weird how its at 5200 rpm and the redline is like 6900… its not even close to redline! i think its a engine problem as well… so i think i’m going to back down from this deal… deal is probaly too good to be true… 1993 240sx with hicus… hmm… good body… never winter driven… with next to no rust… for 3700 cdn… i was planning to get it and change the computer or something? or doing that thingy with taking the 5th gear sensor out or something?

Hey jimmy… i think you went to my highschool… There are a ton of good used 240’s out there, looks like you should pass this one up. Dont worry about changing the ECU or tranny yet… on a 10 year old car there are definatly going to be other things that will need to be addressed first before you start adding power. 1. ---

I remember in my old 240sx this woudl happen when the speedo would stop working, sure enough when my speedo went off, my odo went off and my redline would be decreased greatly… could this be the problem with urs? ---
