I'm pretty sure the doors open like normal and then the doors get pushed up. So if it was in the up/open position, you slam it down, you still need to pull it in to close the door. I hope that made some sense.

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.

hey cheez u got anymore info on this crew, im interested in hearing about this adr legal scissor door kit, as far as i can tell this would be the first legal one? unless anyone else knows of any adr approved kits?

yes... its still impractical, overly expensive and pointless

or what joey said... although i wouldnt say pointless, they do look cool when done right, and not necessarily impractical, the ones i mentioned can open either normally or vertically, so very useful when a wanker parks right on ur door

Very true, been stereotyped by movies like The Fast and The Furious "saga".

So i dont blame the negative image, but im keen so i dont care what anyone else thinks lol.

Open to opinions though, but wont take it into a mind changing account.

ohh yess scissor doors..... thats where me and u differ lol

id keep my car looking like a stocker and bolt a nasty big turbo on it with the money u will spend lol.

if u go ahead, make sure u post up pics of finished project m8.

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.

Funny, been pulled over twice for random license checks (gimme a break ;) ) and both times they asked me to get out and pop the bonnet.

Get off every time though, painted i/c piping black, cai box with snorkel modified to fit with piping, plumback ssqv b.o.v :P looks factory

softc0cks! I wanna see someone do a Delorean conversion ala back to the future! Now that WOULD be interesting to see, extra bonus points for figuring out how to do it with skyline doors as they don't have a frame around the window

I thought it was a defect if you have an aftermarket BOV installed even if its plumbed back? I thought the only legal way for BOV is if its stock and plumbed back?

4-door R34s...

hang it off the i/c piping under the reo... not gonna see it

Is that hard to do? What would i need for SSQ? That adapter plate im guessing, then what else? Damn never thought of that good idea lol.. I was gonna install a plumb back soon but really didnt want to have just the standard BOV because you couldnt really hear any sound when shifting.. Will look into this thanks :)

The only feedback i've heard from people with them is that you wouldn't want to be over 6 foot tall!

it's managable, but for tall people that its your every day driver or you're in and out all the time it can be pretty annoying - so i hear...?

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
