he guys im trying to reach in a diffrent direction with my r33 and was thinking about doin sucide doors . i was just wondering has anyone done this mod what was a rough price and if you have it done some pics would be great. im mainly worried about sagging being such a big door and what bracing would be needed for the job. im leaving about 3 grand for the job. am i dreaming for this price or some were near the mark thanks for the help. regards shaun

never seen it, but shouldnt be too bad.

you keeping the stock latch system? or a new bear claw mechanism?

what handle system you going to use?

as for the hinge, that will take the most work, custom hinge required to push teh door skin outside of the body as the is no recess for it to fold into.

definately do-able

well lambo doors were once unique, im not sure it will work, but i always associate suicide doors with early model hotrods and resto's where they were actually used from factory.

definately alot of work on the B pillar to allow for the hinge to slide back inside the body of the car, engineers cert will be a must.

i was gonna put suicide doors on a 34 but havnt yet, as for 33's wud definately b unique as there arent that many 4dr 33's around...gud luk with it man post a pic for sure def wanna see

^^^ search what suicide doors are before you embarrass yourself next time eh

how about you search what suicide doors are... suicide doors are reverse opening doors. whether its two or 4 doors.

on a four door car only the rear doors are made suicide doors like the likes of the mazda rx8 and a few of the space cab utes are now having suicide doors at the rear.

this only would look good with a pillarless sedan.

if you have a look back to the original post you will see that he states that it is a big door to be supported, this would indicate that it is a coupe as the doors are longer in the coupes.

have a look at alot of the hot rods which you primarily see suicide doors on majority of them are two door cars...

so there is no embarrassment here my friend.

to be different as stated in the first post.

and like i said it wouldnt look good on a four door either because of the b pillar, for a four door car to look good with rear suicide doors it needs to be completely billarless in the middle so that when you have the doors open there is nothing on the whole side of the car and allows the whole cabin to be opened up.

obviously this has caused abit of contraversey. yes i do have a 2 door coupe and im after suicide doors not lambo . ive been talking to a chop shop about the job he thinks it a very big job but anything is possable just depends how rich the bank account is. and yes the car is a must in the engeneer department other wise i may as well leave a large tub of vasolin in the glove box for the cops to ram me. thanks for the imput on it but so far not much has helped. if i find out any more info i will post it up regards shaun.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
