wouldnt be that bad having em. i have heard of the 1s that can open upwards and traditional with thet same setup but i cant remember where i heard about em. ive always felt it looks better on cars that have the metal bracket for the window thingy if you know what im talking about cause it looks like transformers if you have your window down and door up in a skyline with the low slung doors i think there called.

just some food for thought someone i knew had em and was saying he felt they were a pain in the arse when he just wants to get going theres a bit of a limbo act involved as well & he gets soaked if its raining due to the fact you gota mess around lifting your door up while its raining to get in the car all the while its all getting in your car aswell. but if your like me your car dosnt know what rain is :)

yeah thats the problem.....they might look cool and all but eventually the novelty will wear off and you'll be stuck with something thats a hassle to use, that draws to much police attention and that cost a packet.

?? how would that work kisin??

im confuzed

i think he means actual normal doors..... maybe.....

Nah not normal doors. i dont know what type they are, but i clearly saw the guy (a number of times) open the same door on his car, few times vertically, few times normally (tight squeeze).

i went to autostyling (speed dreamz) JUST to check out how their doors are like... and as much as i hate to say this but they are quiet smooth to lift up and you can also open them normally (not to the full extent but close enough.. .. 1800 fitted.. but i dont really trust them with my car so.. >.<

I wouldt trust them with my cars either, but thats the doors im talking about. Saw it on their 300c.

:laughing-smiley-014: - this comming from someone selling overpriced shoes that are "immense and definately an eye pleaser!" :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Whats wrong with it coming from me - I'm selling them not wearing them. Who is it overpriced to? You or a tiesto fan looking to buy them but cant find them locally? I will sell them at any price I see fit :D

200 for a pair of shoe is normal.. and back to the doors.. i dont see why its riced when you can open them normal or upwards, and mayb youve upgrade your car to the standards YOU want it to be so whats wrong with scissor doors might aswel if your willing to spend the cash. =D thats what i think anyway.

Imagine having scissors and pulling into a maccas or pub carpark where there are about 20 blokes squashed in 3 falcodores or a bunch of hairy chrome domes on harleys. What sort of reception ya reckon you'll get when you open the doors.......lil bit embarassing me thinks :laugh:

I personally dont have an issue with them though, but I would never have them.

If i had a mental car, i would chuck the vertical doors on. If i encounter falcodores full of guys... dont care :) They can say what they like, and if they start to get physical, then i can protect myself by all means necessary :)

PS: most of them are sissies as soon as they see u stand up 4 ur self.

great for parking tho'

u can squeeze into a tiny parky and still can get out

You can squeeze in then get out... but then the the person trying to get in to the car parked next to yours struggles to get in then BANG nice phat dint on your door lol

i maybe a little under the influense at the moment, but when i see them its like the car is waving and sayng 'look at me im a fag'

i apologise in advance when i read this 2moz :D

spend the coin on something else like a stereo at least you can enjoy that for nearlty 100% of the time while driving... compared to the 5% posing in a carpark, seriously how often would u sit somewhere with your doors open?

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
