differences between 90/91
hey everyone, i was wondering if someone can help me.
i bought my 240sx fastback last week (YEAH!!) and i was told it is a 1990, but something is telling me there is a possibility it is a 1991. is there any obvious differences between these two years that will tell the two apart? like just from looking, can you see any differences?

You should just be able to check the little metal looking tag inside of the engine bay against the firewall, it should tell you what your engine code is. Or open your door and look at the sticker around the door thing, it tells you when your car was manufactured

difference
different bumper
cluster has a check engine light on the 91 up
valve covers (one says 12V while the other says 16V I think, also the stock valve cover ont eh SOHC is a black ugly looking thing. The DOHC is is smaller and is silver)
power steering pump/reservoir on opposite sides. The SOHC is on the left side looking at the engine and the DOHC reservoir/pump are on the right side looking at the enigne
I am sure there are more, but the escape me right now
also you can do a free carfax and I blieve in its minimla information given, will tell you that it has reports for XXX car with this vin number.
