BUMP,

Surely there is someone out there that needs to swap the 2door sports car for a luxury 4door sedan.

If anyone knows anything about Celsiors you will know they are a far more quality car then a skyline. Trade up for some class.

I just miss driving a turbo manual :)

Bump

A little bit of info on the enginee.

1UZ-FE: 200kw 360nm 32Valve All Alloy Quad Cam V8, Forged pistons/rods, Fully Blueprinted and balanced, 6bolt mains. Toyota spent 2billon dollars devoloping these engines. They have Errie Smoothness. With the Custom ECU/cams and more air the standed bottoms ends can handle 500kw and 9000rpm no problems.

BUMP,

than why are you wanting to swap for a skyline if it is of lower quality.

Because I own 2 Celsiors.

I want to have one nasty thrash machine, I get sick of constantly cleaning and babyin my car everywhere and with a skyline (unless its a gtr or a 34) i will trash it and give it the old $3 auto wash.

Id rather a manual 1jz soarer or a supra. But manual soarers are rare and supra is out of my price range.

Not saying skyline is a crap car, there is a reason why i want one (fun2 drive/wheel spin is fun and rb's sound sweet) but a celsior in regards to cruising refinement is years ahead that is why I made that comment. If you have ever had to pull one of these cars apart you will appreciate the construction.

2 totaly differant cars that cant be compared (like apples and oranges) but in general workmanship and quallity Celsior is better but in saying that it did cost more brand new.

whats wrong with this guy skylines were built for a reason not luxury so yeah of coarse celsior built better better air seats whatever all that crap weights extra we love our lines not for there luxury but for their reliability and speed and presion this guy sholud buy a fully charade and shut up thrash that not a skyline its worth more than a $3 wash (tear) for this guys cars

thats a nice looking car if my line was a manual and you was closer i would swap i have a feeling my next car will be something with a touch more luxuary than a skyline

2SHIFTY:

LOL nothing is wrong with me thanks, well I hope hahaha ;)

All I was saying that its a higher quality car for the same price. I didnt say its a better car. I think skylines are a great car and yes they are built for a purpose (like i said earlyer its like comparing apples and oranges). But I just want a more practical daily car, of corse it will still get care and attention im very strict on engine matenence and polishing/waxing, but I wont be having to stress if my leather is sitting in the sun or if im going to scatch my rims if i take a corner to eager, wont have to stress out about using the local washs (are you telling me all skyline owners dont use car washs :thumbsup: I dont like them because they leave small scratches) with a car like this being a daly driver im more concered about keeping the engine tiptop and the interior/exterior nice and tidy as oposed to obsesivly clean weekend cruiser besides ive got another Celsior for that so I will have the best of both worlds with now a car thats more fun to drive that doesnt mind reving the shit out of it (thrashing). I think a skyline is a great mix between looks/performance/price, I bet you give it to ur skyline every now and then, I want a gtst its what they are made for performance and fun on a budget not like the monster track eating weapon like a gtr. One day I hope to have a R32 GTR that would be the ultimate, but right now I dont think im ready for the king, but mean time a "fully" (???) Charade wont do but if you goto sell your for cheap I might consider it for a bushbasher :(

mid life crisis:

Yea mate they are definetly a great car I would recomend on to anyone who wants a great luxury car on a budget that still gets looks from young and old all the time and be the envy from much more expensive later model luxury car owners. Cant go past them if you just wanna cruise around with a car load of mates checking out the scencery I reakon,.

After all that im glad to annouce the Celsior is sold Pending Payment.

Thanks.

LOL I thought it was a great comeback aswell.

Can't decide between Turbo Soarer and Skyline.

And if its a Skyline, a 32 or a 33. Im thinking a 32 will have more chuckability due to being smaller.

Opinions welcome.

Hmmmm this is what im thinking tho.

Can a r32 get into the mid 13sec 1/4 mile bracket with the same basic mods a soarer would need to do so.

front mount, exhaust, more boost, stock turbos/ecu/blah blah.

The reason im thinking soarer is you can get them for under 6grand easy. Spend 2grand on mods tops. and for 8grand you got a pretty quick car.

What kind of budget/mods approxmently would i be looking at to make a R32 do mid 13's?

Sorry for the newbie questions, Im more of a cams and compression kind guy, never played with boost.

Hey mate are you thinking of selling the rims? How much are you after?

Sorry matey not willing to seperate, even if I did my car would then have no wheels LOL,

Took me forever to import these rims and find the correct off sets. Turns the Celsior from grandpa's car into instant head turner. Im yet to see another set of rims that match these cars as well as these do.

  • 1 year later...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
