Soarer Or Celsior

[INASNT]

I currently have a 1990 hillux surf turbo diesel which I imported about 6 months ago to which I have done a few mods which is my daily driver but now want to sell and get either a Soarer V8 or Celsior V8 coz driving a big diesel 4x4 everyday is a pain in the ass, especially is city traffic. The R33 spents most of its time in the garage when not being driven on the track.

This saves me alot of $$ on petrol and hassels from cops as I work in the city about 40km from home.

There are alot of soarers for sale but only a few celsior, which cant be imported now either under the 15 year old rule but they both have the same 4.0 engine.

Who's owned one or had good/bad experiences with them?

Yes I have already driven both before but am stuck between the 2.

Yes I need people on the internets views before I buy one

i was getting a celsior when i was selling my GTR... i liked the pimp look to them. dumped on huge chrome rims with dark tint and you have one kick-arse cruiser.

havn't had experience with the 2 though so that's all the input i can give lol!

I have a friend who wants to swap my surf for his 1990 celsior. Its stock tho but could be pimped easily as he has just got the lower half 2 tone resprayed.

LOL got any pics of yours?

How are they on fuel? Can they run on 95? Are they hard engines to work on?

Had any problems with the airbag suspension?

[Mr. Oizo]

the airbag suspension on the soarer will take a crap, if it hasn't already done so

the climate control screens on the soarer leak and you cant read them properly

stock for stock, soarer.

pimped, celsior.

Whats the difference between the type c and type c F package?

[AMS]

F is more luxury I think

[wizard2k]

id go the celsior thats what id wanna buy very nice pimped out

[r34_skyline]

F pack has every option available; top of the range model. i wouldnt get anything less than a F considering they're only <$1000 less than other Packs.

type C F has massage rear seats, standard leather, air purifier the whole lot.

you're not really pimpin unless you in a C F.

i was lookin at getting into a celsior not long ago, there is a whole lot to look out for with these cars. you can quite easily end up spending a GTR-load of money getting them up to scratch, not a cheap car to run.

check out some of the info from the toymods forum -

helped me decide i didn't need one

I'd get a soarer Denham... unless you want a 4 door. Just because there so many of them around these days, parts would be a bit easier to get.

Most of the JZA80 Supra suspension components and the like bolts straight into the Soarers, which might mean its cheaper prospect - if there is anything like that needs replacing.

[scathing]

If you want a four door, get a Celsior. If you want a two door, get the Snoarer.

They're not exactly similar cars.

A friend of mine had a Celsior for a while. The V8 sounded nice with its catback, and was smooth. It was a full luxo inside, with a rear seat you could use. A pretty nice car - shame you weren't looking for one a month or so ago.

Yep looks like I am going with the celsior.

Checking out my mates I might be swapping with tomorrow again.

[Celsior23]

Heres mine. black one is for sale atm - put it up in FS section, but for some reason i think someone deleted it.

There are many things to look out for on celsiors. air suspension is not really a problem...its more the shockers and ball joints.

BTW - CF is more luxury but if you have a C model, you can easily add rear massagers - they are a seperate unit that is added in the back of the rear seat and you can get em from japan easily.

How much u selling the black one for?

I think i will just put some 19's or 20's on the 1 i get and not the bodykit so I wont have to worry about going uo driveway/carparks and hitting the kit I have to with the R33.

How are they as a daily driver? Are they good on fuel?

[DJ984]

god damn they're pimp! and to think i was 2-3 days away from one of my own
