[mrrb20det]

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

I've got a photo of one...I'll see if I can dig it up

hehehehe Dezz - its suicide doors not lambo

[babyskyline]

Lambo doors are a complete wank on a gtr imo.

Suicide doors would definitly be a different look and something unique to do to a skyline.

my bad..was half asleep and wasn't paying attention

[Craved]

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.

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

[Beelzebub89]

Suicide doors doesn't mean its a 4 door though. They just have the hinges on the other side of the door and open from the front of the door.

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.

why would you do it on a coupe would look rediculous or remind me of an 1800's carriage... certainly would be... unique

[Phobic]

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.

how about i post up a pic when my rear suicide doors are done

how about i post up a pic when my rear suicide doors are done

im keen to look

would love some details on teh fabrication side of it if you can provide it.

[mrrb20det]

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.

[Craved]

this might help then

1) no it wont sag with a twin hinge setup

2) yes you are dreaming for $3K price tag, unless you can fabricate yourself and also paint prep yourself

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

>$3k is a lot for doors.... i dont get it...
