Got my new car this week. It's a 1991 Celsior with 65k miles on it. You can barely tell in the photos, but it's a really dark green. It looks black unless the sunlight hits it right. Has HKS coilovers and Aristo wheels.

Looks sweet congrats on the celsior. You import it yourself or buy from a dealer/another person?

 

Very nice. Its sure funny how everything, well almost everything is backwards in the right hand drive cars. I thought the Celsiors had every option there was plus many more???? No heated seats? At least the trac button is in the same spot as an LS400.
So is this the one that just came over from Japan?

 

Very nice. I saw this one on Japanese Classics recently.

Your car was probably painted Black Jade Pearl (6K4), which is what mine has. It looks black when it's dark, but in the light it shines green.

 

Yep this is the one from Japanese Classics recently. They're great guys, and it was very easy to buy the car. Shipping from Virginia was a breeze too.

Black Jade Pearl sounds like it's probably the color. Unless the sun is shining right on it, it looks black.

I think it's either a Type-A or Type-B package. The Type-C included reclining and massaging rear seats, and mine doesn't have that. I think leather was optional on every trim, and I'm not sure what the difference between the A and B are.

 

You can find the differences at here below although you need to understand Japanese way of expressions some.

LOL OneJay! I almost snagged this one from you at JC LLC. I went to call them for the deposit, and it was gone. I snagged the white Soarer with 27k.

 

I was actually trying to contact you about your 350z touring wheels and tire size. Did you use spacers with them, and if you did let me know how many mm's. Also, did you leave the stock wheels the 350z touring wheels come with which are 245/45ZR/18?

I wonder if they clear LS400 brakes or Supra brakes.

 

Sorry I swooped this from you, but sounds like you got an awesome Soarer out of it! That one looks really clean!

For the Z wheels, I used a 15mm spacer in the rear with rolled rear fenders, and stock fronts. Fronts cleared the LS brakes with plenty of room to spare. I ran 225/40/18 and 255/40/18 and they fit perfect with no rubbing, with about -1.2 degrees of camber all around. I was lowered on Supra Eibach springs.

 

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? i've been thinking about asking the local importer to get me a celsior but i have a feeling it will be more expensive then i want it to be

 

Very nice! Congrats!

Mike

 

It was $7500 +a $100 processing fee, and $950 for shipping from Virginia to Denver, so around $8600 all in.

 

I'd want body and paint perfection at that price, zero defects!
