1990 Toyota Celsior, Proper Vip Stance, 19X10.5 Rears With Dishnizzle Up The Shitnizzle! F-Off Towbar To Tow Your Tracker In Pimp Style!


Recommended Posts

hey guys...

celsior is for sale again yo.. i sell it, then dont, then do, then dont... time for do again..

soooo...

1990 ufc11 celsior with 6 months rego

pearl white over silver

200000kms... major service done, new waterpump, timing belt, etc.. no expense spared on oils and maintanance.. this car has no mechanical dramas with the engine or transmission. all completely stock (inc exhaust)

limo tint... super dark... actually dark implies you can see through it... this is more like pure black.

Wheels are Racing Hart Pro, not some cheap crappy +45 20"chromies.. these are proper baller size 19x9 and 19x10.5, both +26... you cannot get better fitment on a celsior... they fill the arches to within a poofteenth of their life but dont scrub, so much dish you can fit your iphone in there. tyres are stretched falken fk542, 235 fronts and 275 rears.. fronts are good, rears are getting low but still well legal and good even wear

decent JVC and Alpine stereo, alpine subs and three amps in boot.. one sub has some damage to the cone but still pumps kenny rogers harder than yours.

G4 coilovers... two are a bit noisy... heck.. they are noisy when brand new... they achieve the desired result though they are nearly maxed out at this height... just the comprimise we all must go through.. you want comfort, quietness and be able to take your grandma to the shops?? put the 15s back on and the factory airbags in..

the chocolate leather interior is in excellent condition... all electrics work and very comfortable and quiet. rear seat reclines and massages and stuff.. rear climate control etc.. all the trimmings youd expect from a yakuza boss car

rock solid tow bar which apprantly is hard to find.. i have towed a loaded car trailer with the celsior and smooth as butter... didnt even realise i had a trailer on the back half the time.. 120km on the freeway no probs.

overall this car is in good condition... when you consider that it is as old as a VN commodore, etc... it has a few slight dents and a small amount of paint is flaking on the rear bar, as does any car that is 21 years old and has done 200000kms.

it also has the usual celsior faults.. like the drivers door handle is sticky and has to be pushed down after opening... never really been an issue to me... not exactly hard to open and pop it back down... not that id consider the effort involved in getting a new one, swapping the lock over.. getting it sprayed. and fitting it up..

also the temp and tacho gauge's have a mind of their own, instrument men can fix them.. but often send the ones that are working out of whack.. speed and fuel work fine and id like to keep them that way.

aircon is as cold as antarctica... compressor is noisy though as is common on the toyota v8's... cant hear it inside the car but at $1000 for a new compressor.. i couldnt justify replacing it till it stops working

$7000 neg. located at east maitland nsw, end of F3 freeway.. viewing available after 6pm weekdays or all weekends.

TEXT me on 0431 646 160... i dont answer phone calls.

i think the price is reasonable.. you get a hell of a lot of car for the money..

    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
