New 240 from Hill AFB Utah

Hello all,

Last weekend I picked my 1993 SE Coupe from this guy here in town for $500, good deal I think. It has everything except motor and transmission but that is no problem. Absolutely no rust and only minor dings on the pass door and right front end has a minor fender bender. Right now I am cleaning her up and removing unnecessary parts like PS and AC stuff .

At the beginning of next year I will start my build, it will be a Series 2 RB25 I'm picking up from the good people at JDMEngineCorp in Richardson Texas where I am originally from. I just got promoted to E-4 so more money will be coming in so I will start collecting parts until then. Hoping to keep everything under 5k and I will be doing all the work myself with the help from some friends of course.

Very excited to finally own my own 240 and start my build.

Here are some pictures....

welcome..you sure you want S2??? electrical work is going to be a pain for no reason... from experience its better to go with an S1 and upgrade to the S2 turbo. that is the only benefit of going with the S2 engine.

Whats your AFSC? im a 2T1x1 stationed in Misawa.

Thanks for the advise I guess S1 will do. Last owner is being a jackass and won't sign a 130-U form I need to register the car in Texas so at this point I don't know what to do

My AFSC is 3S0x1 Manpower and Personnel, I'm the guy that you would see at the CSS or MPF. Misawa, I'm jealous. A good friend of mine just got orders there but she's not interested in cars so what a waste of tour lol

I have been banging on my Rb25 for 3 years now... and I love it. last time I dynoed I put down 433chp on a slipping clutch I now have a twin plate and just last week I snapped an axle so im sure the power is higher will dyno again soon. about to downgrade the power a bit to help parts last longer.
