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 :):)

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 :D

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.

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.

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?

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
