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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
