Hi Guys,

I am looking at setting up a group buy for scissor doors. Also known as Vertical Doors and Lamboghini hinges. These are universal hinges so will fit all cars. I am investigating shiping details, but I think that if I can organise 10 people, It may cost around $700 - $800 delivered to your door.

Unfortunately postage is expensive as each kit for 2 doors weighs around 20kg.

The kit comes with instructions and does not require welding. I believe this is a bolt on kit with 2 hinges and 4 200lbs gas struts. The mechanism of the hinges does not require you to change the door latch. I have seen similar hinges from US$900 to US$1400, so the pricing is good. I am trying to organise a sample.

I am looking at importing them directly from China. As soon as I get more info, I will post it up.

As I'm going away on holidays next week, I will post info from time to time. So please bare with me as I won't be on all the time. I will let this run until the end of January 2007.

Thanks for looking.

I would also suggest people chat to an approved engineer before undertaking such modifications to a road car as they are not factory, and quite a change to the workings

Hi Guys,

I am hoping to get a set and put them on a car by the end of January. I will take some photos of the installation and let you know how easy it is and how sturdy they are.

I am checking on how many people are interested at the moment. But I wouldn't do a GB unless they are quality products and sturdy. Therefore the GB wouldn't go ahead until I have fully checked them out.

I have them at home do you want to see some photos about them?

pics would be great so we can see how they are to be sure, but yeh good idea checking the quality etc before it goes ahead..

for someone who asked about legallity, as far as i know an engineer wont touch them....but u might find an odd one that will

either way still keen, keep us posted.

ben...

Hi guys, yeah ill be interested if its a good quality product, but my 1 question is, is with almost all scissor kits the fenders have to be modified. Is this the case with this kit as well??

Hi Brendan,

I am not 100% sure if the fenders need to be lipped (ie, the fender bit is flared as per wheel arch. I think for memory wheel arches being lipped is about $8 and there are no marks on the paint work).

Some vehicles need to be lipped whilst some don't. I can not tell you 100% for sure. In the next 3 or 4 weeks, I will be attempting :no:;):P to put a set on an R33. I will let you know if the fenders need to be lipped. :)

BTW, BanKids it would be great if you could post some pic's of your car with the scissor hinges. Did you do the install yourself ?

I have done some research on the internet re: the installation, and it can be done with 2 people. It is almost impossible to do it yourself unless you have hoists and such......

are you still able to open the door normally?

The door opens normal initially so that it uses the same door latch, but then opens upwards.

If you are asking if you can choose to have the door open normally or upwards, the answer is no. Once you change the hinge, it will open upwards. If you want it to open normally, you need to put the old hinge back on.

sorry i don't have any pic on my car as they are still at home. but i have a mate who did the conversion and that looks awesome, just one thing, if your car is 2 doors like supra or skyline 2dr, they doors might be too heavy to lift up with just one air bar each side, mine got 2 on each side..

bankids,

These kits come with 300lb struts (2 for each door) due to the heavy weight of the door.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
