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.

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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
