I have seen a few around - but with Skylines, because their doors are quite small - it doesn't look too good, but up to you ... you'll have to get someone that specialises in this type of thing to get it done right... good luck!

lol if the doors weight a tonne then the engine and the chasis weight about 400kg? lol just joking... nah mate, the hinge itself weights close to 20kg, the hinge won't snap But it is true its only for show purpose, you won't be able to open the door upwards from within the car. Also the later hinge models allows to open 30 degrees sideways so you can get in and out of the car without having the thing go upwards all the time.

but also consider that the door will not allign properly when in horizontal position.

Regarding leagalities, it is illegal, however my friend manage to get an engineering certificate for it for $500. It took her hell long tho.. I think 3-4 months to process.

got a bolt on kit, but wasnt very bolt on. right now i am getting my hinges modifided to actually line my door up properly. just to let ya guys know you dont always have to open the door by making them go up cause i found like i can open the door normally far enough to actually get out so i am saving on showing of the doors for shows and cruise.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
