History of the 240sx

I was curious as to when the first 240 was introduced in the US. Was it the '89? Also, what was the stock HP of the 89-90 240sx...155? I am just curious about these questions and any infromation would be appreciated.

sohc's = 140
dohc's = 155

89 was the first s13, they had a s12 chassy but I'm not sure on their relation.

89 was the first model of the s13 chassis that was offered in N. America

but IIRC it was sold in 1988 as a 1989 model, there's a whole writeup on NICO about it
