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.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
