hey guys, need a ute so the Celsior has to go.

had it for about a year, always wanted one, dont want to sell it, but it doesnt get driven much and really need a ute for bikes etc.

specs:

1990 UFC10 Toyota Celsior, rego till september. NOT lexus LS400, just rebadged as one by previous owner.

200000kms, 1UZfe 4L V8,

completly stock except for g4 coilovers and super dark tinted windows, have r32 gtst wheels on it but comes with stock 15s.

full leather interior, rear massage seats and recliners, full pimp spec.. its brown, but it grows on you.. feels very japanese mafia in there.. as opposed to grey leather.

resprayed at some stage, white with blue pearl.

has had major service done by me at my work.. new timing belt, waterpump, thermostat, all pulleys, drive belt, new distributor caps, leads, plugs, all filters and oils, temp switch.

transmission has genuine toyota t4 oil, engine oil is Repsol Multivalvas. service every 5000kms

new front brakes and caliper rebuild

new front wheel bearings

good stereo system... 2 subs in boot, neatly mounted for boot usabilty.

Tow bar.

has a couple of simple celsior faults.. like the temp gauge and tacho have a mind of their own, the drivers door handle sticks, and the front lhf shock is a bit noisy.. nothing major..

also has some paint missing from rear bumper, near number plate.

great car to drive.. super smooth slushbox and super quiet cabin.. stock exhaust is eerily quiet, really would love to go nuts on it.. nice set of 19s and some decent VIP spec coilovers really all it needs.. i have no hassles getting parts from toyota can, they are on the toyota parts systems and can be looked up like any other car.

i have towed a loaded car trailer with it and it flew.. kept forgetting i had a trailer on the back.. didnt even notice a lack in power or cruising.

Located in East Maitland NSW, near newcastle.. end of F3 freeway.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
