go with a 91-94. 89-90 are too old and I now have a deep hatred for teh sohc as a result of my bad lemon.

you'd be lucky to find one with a limited slip but swapping one in isn' t very difficult

Remember, 91 has auto seatbelts.

Is 91 the only year that suffers with the auto seatbelts?

All S13 240's do pretty much, except 'verts and Canadian models...

And what's the big problem with them anyway? I LOVE them. That way, I can't forget to put atleast one belt on, which is not only physical protection but ticket evasion. Plus, it's cool. :) I've heard some people complain they're a safety hazard (!? that's a laugh) and break often...EVERY S13 I've been in, has working, original belts.

There's a Nissan Tech on this bulletin board who said they're also under lifetime warranty with Nissan.
