Lambo Doors

[POLICE]

do scissor doors have hydraulic hinges to help the door lift upwards?

I want to put them on but am afraid of how much heavier it'll be to lift them up

I mean the standard door is bloody heavy enuf

[NA_Goodness]

Yeah, they all have gas struts. A properly engineered system should let you open and close the door easily. Should feel the same, if not lighter than your stock door. Does that make sense?

[Flash89]

yeah the gas struts will lift the door but try pulling the door down when you are sitting in the car, i had scissor doors but have taken them out cause of legal reasons, but might put them back on one day

i bought a bolt on kit, was not bolt on at all.

Hi Guys it`s Terry the owner of lambodoorkits Ltd. Just thought I`d pop in and dispell some myths about the lambo doors. I have them fitted to our company show car R33 GTST Skyline. We use this car everyday, so know what it is like living with them. We searched long and hard to find an affordable kit, which was strong and easy to fit, as well as easy to live with. We found many kits that were inferior and had no bearings fitted to them and the shocks were very weak. The kit we settled for, as you see on the web site is the one we have now. The kit is a direct bolt on fitment and is made in Taiwan, not China where all the poor quality kits come from. To fit the kit, the door needs to be taped shut and a piece of carboard used under the door to keep the gap at the bottom. The wings then need removing and the old hinges removing. The new hinges just bolt straight on in the original holes. At this point you can release the tape off the door. The door then needs operating a few times and adjust with the allen key screws until your happy with the door shutting like factory. The inside of the wing needs a small half moon shape cutting out to allow for the extra width of the hinge. This operation has to be done with any Hinge on the market. That`s it, fit the wing and it`s done. The kit will need adjusting eventually, ours has been twice in 3 years. Not bad I think. The shocks are still original after 3 years although starting to get weak now. These can be easily replaced wih our 650lb upgrade. The doors when up in the air do wobble in high wind, but this is the same with LSD kits. This is inevitable with a large piece of metal in the air anchored to the thin piece of metal which is the door panel. We just don`t open them in high wind and you can get out normally anyway without lifting them up. This should also help if you get stoped by the local fun police, by getting out the car normally. I know and anyone with common sense knows that this type of modification is a love it or hate it Modification and we should respect their views on this. personally I love it. The looks we get at shows and during normal out and about shopping etc is great. They aren`t looks of disgust either, they are looks of Awe! Not very often you see Skylines with lambo doors.

Think I have gone on enough, feel free to ask questions.

[cruzin33]

I also notice the one on your site is for the r32 do you have the kit to suit the r33 gts-t so its a perfect fit.

[POLICE]

conversion's probably around a little over 1K by my brain calculations

i might organize a group buy from terry if he offers a good price or another vendor that I have got in touch with "depending on the quality of his kits and price".

i personlay think they doors that go up and out even if just a lil are much nicer than just up.

how many ppl we got so far, maybe start a thread in the group buy section?

[NRV155]

People, check with your insurers first. I was going to get these for my MR2 but Just Car said they dont cover scissor doors or carbon bonnets for that matter.

I do like them but just didnt get them because of this reason. Id say youd have worse luck with the likes of NRMA or AAMI covering these aswell.

Also make sure your passanger is fully aware of the scissor doors as the brackets can bend if pulled open too far, ive been there before, LOL
