I just bought a 1990 240 and i tried topping it out, which i couldn’t because the car stopped accelerating around 180. The funny thing is that in 4th at around 6k rpm it stops moving or in 5th at lower rpm, so my prediction is that it kicks in at a certain speed. ---

I once went over to 180+ on the odemeter while I was driving across USA. The fuel got cut off when I reached around 190 km/hr I didn’t have time to take a picture of it because I was not expecting to have my 240sx to go up so fast… Anyways… it’s a 90’s ---

Depending on the speed/rpm’s your going when a standard car stalls the tires stop with the engine. All i was wondering is if this happend to you. ---

i think it did because what happends was that my car kind of stop… i can feel it lose big speed when it stall but i thought that it was just my engine kick back or something!!!
