I finish year 12 this year so next year working full time i have a lot of ambitions for future mods for my car

New Rims,

New Front Bar,

Custom Paint Job,

Lambo Sizzor Doors

has anyone looked into these doors or how much it would cost to get them put on?

not only do i think they would look mint, but i see them as practical too. if your parked in a tight spot the people in the back can get out without having to swing the door open 3 feet

Hey nice to see another L Plater with a GTS (Y)

someone told me that if you plan on getting scissor doors all you need is the bracket in which the door swings bye???

Theres this crew called UNEEK one guy has a Soarer with Scissor doors i tihnk he only had to buy the brackets or something looks mad now

scissor :P

hahah i know how to spell it, im trying to be a sik kent ule

uneek i heard of them before

i shall do some investigation, thanks for your help

by the way if any of you think this will look crap tell me now :P

also im no longer an L plater nemore, just havent taken any really nice pics with the P's up, Non Turbo ftw!

Hey matie,

Its good to see other kean modifiers out there.... Scissor doors bolt on kits are available quite readily on ebay and www.autostylingaustralia.com.au Its pretty much a vertical lift bracket which i htink some aussie guy thought up with a dampner attached however i am unsure how solid these dampners are! the brackets look pretty tough but i guess u will be lifting the doors a fair bit...

They are probably installed by removing the front quarter panels and bolting the brackets on to the chassis. anyways if u ever get around to it... take a pic or do a DIY on the forum!

best of luck!

p.s they market for about ~$1000 mark

just have on my 32, now taking them off because they dont apporve with ADR. also installing is a biatch because if you get bolt on kits they are not bolt on. thats all i got to say i paid over 2k

i'd say look into gettin the ones with a dual hinge, that can open either up or normal, but only one at a time, i dont know a lot about them myself but have heard it has been done successfully, though it may be significantly more expensive,

i think they look hot, was thinking of getting them myself for my R34, just not too keen on what the police will say if i get pulled over and asked to step out of the vehicle? mayb climb thru the window...

in any case they look sweet, and if lambo can do it, why cant nissan :closedeyes:

(and if u got ur P's in qld b4 the 1st of july, u dont have to wear the P plates :spam: ) awesomness

well i guess u open them normally then? :D

coppers don't ask you to step out of the vehicle unless you're being arrested, searched or suspected of carrying weapons. in fact they make it a point to remind you to stay in the car.

that said, i do think lambo's on an R32 are rice beyond belief.

i seen an accord euro with scissor doors, to open them, you have to open them like a normal car, half the way out, then lift them up.. so if cops pull you over, u can still get out normally, might be a bit tight thats all..

not worth it man, I had a set, $1250NZD didn't bolt straight on

had to dent my underpanels to get it to fit + cut the guard.

I took them off in the end, they look terribly rice, won't comply with any regs, I had to get a cert if i wanted to use them $320 not sure what you'd do over there with the ADR Regs.

Also, you don't save much space and if you park that close to cars, then you shouldn't be driving :P if someones parked bad in a carpark, i just park mine as close to their drivers door as possible, so i've got space to get out :( they can get in through their passneger door if they need to.

So yeah, if you want to spend $2500(incl fitting and install) go for it

theres a crew in sydney that have 33 bolt on kits. and i mean bolt on. no cutting drilling welding nothing... the kit alone costs 3k and then install. its recommended that they do the install to ensure the hinge is correctly adjusted for door closing to be perfect. and at the same time there hinges are ADR Approved. they've had them tested and certified.

wouldnt mind getting them done to my 33 but 3k-3.5k is alot just for a pair of hinges.

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
