riot is an unknown quantity at this point
I just bought a 1992 240sx SE.  The guy never told me what kind of gas he put in it and I noticed on the gas door it said "user premium for maximum performance".  I decided that since I probably wont be worrying about "performance" on this motor I'll just use 87.  I've been using 87 ever since (had the car for a month)...and it feels exactly the same.

Now...is it me or is this motor naturally SLOW.  Maybe its because I'm not using premium or maybe its because Im used to a high revving honda...but I feel that this motor is fucking insanely slow.  After 5,000 rpms it just totally levels out and doesnt accelerate anymore.  Like I stated in another thread...it feels like the clutch slips from 5k to redline...but I've been told "thats just how KAs are".
