Here is the situation, I am in need of a cheap car to go back and forth to work and I found an 89 240sx for sale locally. I am going to look at it tomorrow, but after a little detective work online, I found some posts by the current owner that have me wondering if I should go through with it.

"When I rev the motor up above 5500rpm the motor seems to die. I have to downshift in order for the car to 'come alive' does anyone have any inputs on what I can try to do to fix this?"

He never got a response to this and posted if the problem was ever resolved, this was back in August. I am a little wary of buying the car now, and I just wanted to run it by some Nissan gurus to get your thoughts on it and what it might be, and how much it would run me to fix if I went through with the buy. Thanks in advance for any help and light you can shed on this. I am a Nissan fan but in no way have the knowledge to go at this alone. I'll be looking at the thread all night for responses and will probably be losing sleep over this into tomorrow Thanks again. ]]> General 240SX/Silvia/S12 200SX ValiantV8 http://www.NissanForums.com/general-240sx-silvia-s12-200sx/157142-5500rpm-power-loss-need-help.html http://www.NissanForums.com/general-240sx-silvia-s12-200sx/157089-new-guy-looking-ideas.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:19:22 GMT Let me start by saying that I'm sure that there has been tons of people on here that have made the same post so sry in advance.

I am starting early with coming up with a plan. I am planing on buying a 240 and putting a sr20 in. other than that I'm at a blank.

Here are my ideas I want a weekend warrior that is still good on the road. I will be doing street course's.
Looking for around 400HP
Great handling
And don't care about the interior
And a major deal is reliability

I needed to know if there is any differences in the years of 240's so i have the best start I can plus a good list of parts that will give me around 400HP

Like i said I'm sure there has been plenty of others with the same post so can you link them if you find them
