Hi. I'm Steve and i'm from Essex ( no jokes please )

Looking to buy my 1st Soarer. i've had 3 Skylines in the past but fancied something a little different

Hi Steve and welcome to the LOC, we are a
friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and
put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer
left over.

We recommend you spend a couple of mins
looking over the rules of the LOC, we will be asking questions later.

Hello Steve and welcome to the LOC, now if your name had been Joey there would have been comments :)

Question is which model Soarer, 4 ltr, 2.5TT probably the latter with your Nissan past.

If you find a suitable buy feel free to post up the link and we will advise.

hello, soarer can be made into weapon!

Thanks guys.

Got my eyes on these three. All different models so each one will have different pros n cons. Any advise or general thoughts on any of them would be great.

Must say the white one looks very good considering age milage is nothing, 280 bhp from 2.5 will put a big smile on anyones face.

Mmmm, nice choice,being a V8 man I would be looking at no.1 but 2 has low mileage and 3 is the ultimate in Soarer world.

Is the 3.0litre engine the same as the Lexus GS300 then with a straight 6?

Prices are certainly not moving up like the late model LS400s.

Could be tempted myself here, been thinking of selling my LS400 import but it's never let me down and continues to run great so only reason is having owned it for 9 years I fancy a change and knowing the V8 engine is an advantage.

According to Wikipedia, both the 3.0 litre Soarer (Z30 model) and the GS300 both use the 2JZ-GE16 engine (n/a models). The twin turbo GS300 models use the 2JZ-GTE16

Whats the better engine? The 3.0L 2JZ-GE I6, the 4.0L 1UZ-FE V8 or the 2.5L 1JZ-GTE I6 turbo?
