What are youre thoughts on this? am looking into pricing of lambo style door hinges for my S1 stagea.

I have put them on a mates S15 (see saikoogarage.com, and check out PROJECTS), and they look horn. If they can lift the s15 doors no worries, the stageas li'l front doors should be easy. You can get universal hinges, and if need be adapt them to suit.

I figure it will be something different. I mean, stageas are rarer than most, so one with lambo doors aint gonna be a common sight. It was either going to be lambo fronts, or suicide rears... and due to $$$ constraints - lambo wins out, being a simple bolt on.

Will try and do some photoshopping to see what its gonna look like, but yeah.

What are your thoughts?

yeah i saw that - the gold one with the honda tail-lights and all that? but yeah i figure it would be nice and different.

Just organised the rest of the nismo kit with chris $800, plus $500 paint + fit,

getting the wang off alex $100ish

the soarer-style cat-back split exhaust, no-name brand$600

SK's suspension to lower it $1800ish

The kit is gonna be about $1000 i think...

so about $5k and she's done. Already got the ICE installed.

Will be the nice cruisy show car... Got the 31 GTS for when i feel like doin something stupid.

suicide the rear doors instead... lambo doors on sedans look like arse with a pinch of smelly feet.

hahahah lambo doors look poxy as unless u actually got a lambo.

seen a supra the other day with some and damn they are shithouse :laugh:

f**k the doors, make it faster instead! turbo or doors hmm i know what i'd choose :)

everyones jumping on the showpony bandwagon as of late, how about p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e ;)

anyone for neons????? ;)

each to their own i suppose ;)

Ive seen a set on a R33 coupe - looked awesome.

anyway - Im not one to go on a showponyexpress ride, my Stagea is a stealth-wagon alllll the way. hell, Id love to paint the bonnet and roof Pand black, but then it wouldnt be a stealth / sleeper look would it?! Same reason why I went for R34GTT 17's, keep it looking stock.

Remember, its whats on the insides that counts! :(

:wub:

I reckon if you like it, do it!! ... id prefer performance but respect lambo doors!

modifying cars is anything you want it to be performance, looks, ICE ... we all have our preferances im sure you would hate some of my ideas but thats what i like about it ..thats the point to modifying your car other wise we may as well just go buy a white Commonwhore

I reckon you would prob be one of only a very very select few with a Stagea AND lambo doors DAMN!!! hahhaha guaranteed recognition!!!

just my 2cents

do lambo doors on the front, then suicide lambo doors on the rear. would look the shit then.

while you're at it, have the boot split open like a tailgate and lifting only the rear window. split your bonnet down the middle to open sideways.

yah, do that.

i wouldnt do anything to the doors, but just fronts is a bit lacking.. has to be fronts and rears

meh id figured that theres no point working a 97rs4 performance wise, better bang for your buck in a 260. so i figure ill just dress it up. hmmm i dont know about neaons though. maybe for shows, but thatd be it.

I just want to end up with something unique. You can put all your money under the bonnet of a stagea, but as soon as it comes to cornering or braking, you lose, its too heavy.

like i said, i have a 31gts for when im feelin the need for speed.

they aint that bad thru the twisties, pretty fast and stable with the awd. with 200awkw the Stagea 'could' be a Hills weapon.

nice - R31.... yum

yeah but if you put the same money into something more nimble, much better results. like in the VR4 thread - you wouldnt buy a stagea to do up for hill climbs, it not an economical option.

Now the R31 though... second hand parts blaster. Has S13 steerring and control arms etc with second hand tein s13 coilovers, no interior, stainless spaghetti manifold, Blown VL turbo that is waiting for a highflow, in-tank bosch pump, 444cc injectors, fmic with a busted core waiting for replacement, turbo back 3". "needs work" lol. 5spd is smooth as. LSD. whole car cost me $2k, so i think i did well. just for a drift pig.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
