this might be a stupid question but from all the pics i have seen of skylines with lambo doors, it seems there isn't much room for people to get in or out

p.s. carbon fiber interior looks hot

Took these pictures recently for another customer, as you can see, plenty of room to get in and out.

Glad you got them Ok Chris, have fun with your new Doors. Installation really is easy, it`s only nuts and bolts. Remember to exercise the doors few times, test and adjust before putting all the components back on. Any problems give me a shout, always happy to help. 001334848469 mobile 04407795245306

me and a mate started my install of the lambo doors today! THEY ARE FREAKING AWSOME!

we managed to get one door on...took SOOO long though, spent like an hour trying to align it. put the car all back together to realise it was compety NOT in the same place i had aligned it :) I think i forgot to tighten the nuts after aligning it grrr

The kit is very easy to install though....IF you dont have side skirts, mine now need respraying and the doors his the skirts unless you open it a specific way....out a lil. up a bit out fully then up.

So atm i have one door on which i cna not use becuase its lined up so bad it overlaps on the back quater panel :P 2moro i will have to pull the front gaurd off again and try to realign it. Wont have a second pair of hands until next weekend though

The prep work is usually the most labour intensive with having to remove the wings to gain access, which in turn you need to remove the side skirts, front bumper and guards. Sounds like the hinges are sitting too far backwards on the adjustable slots. Did you keep the door on and locked when you fitted the hinge? This would make sure that the door was near the correct distance from the rear panel. Once you have it in the right place it might be worth putting a few tack welds round the hinge, like we have done on ours. Just illimanates it moving at all in the future. Not a neccessity but an option.

This im interested in... Especially carbon fibre.. anything for the R34?

Secondly could you supply pix of the hinges for a r34. Interested in how much space they take up.

Thanks

R34 bits are on our list to do at the moment. Will post up when they are ready.

Here is the install guide on an R33 GTST Skyline which shows the hinges. It`s not an R34 but the hinges will be same in appearance and size.

Alloy wheels done to death

Flip paint Jobs done to death

Extreme body kits done to death

Clean look done to death

Wide arch kits Done to death

Blacked out windows done to death

Blinging everything done to death.

Need I go on?

Everything has been done to death, does that meen all of you are now going to take any of those things off your car? I doubt it!

still working on my first hinge :D realised i had not bashed the frame flat enough so there was a gap between the window and the car :) So i had to take the bracket off again which i stupidly started doing while the hydrolic shock was still attached! dumbest thing ive ever done!

I flattened the area behind the hinge more and re attached it...still got a gap but not AS big so i guess ill keep trying!

I have an R33 Four Door that im always trying to find something different to do with. I have been toying for 12 months with putting scissor doors on the front, and suicide doors on the rears .. now that would be a real head turner, just not sure how easily it could be done. Imagine it as an alternative to this ....

Ok very very soon (about 4 weeks) i was having my car sent in for for a new spray job.... then this popped up. Lambo doors are the tits! and now i want some. I'm a little worried though if i have them installed after the car gets sprayed as i also have a kit like "chrissyo" and dont want to be paying for a new spray job only to scratch it up trying to put on the new doors. It was also said that the doors need adjusting every now and then. As my car is still a daily driver will i find that after a few months of opening and closing the doors they will be rubbing at the paint?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
