scissor doors shouldnt be too hard to put in place as ur just replacing the hinge

scissor doors would be awesome i also was considering them myself however best if u look into the compliancy laws if u dont want to get stickered by the cops.

It's not just replacing the hinge. you got to cut into the body of the car. lots of work. The Hinge is huge!.

Personaly i wouldn't get them even if there where free. They do look cool when up. Works like this. You open the door about 1 1/2 foot then get out of the car and pick up the door and lift with both hands (becasue it's heavy) so everyone can see you got them. Unless your buff then you can do it sitting in the car with one hand.

i have also heard that the door is attached to the sidewall of the car, i.e NOT where the old hinge was, but on that panel, and it has been known in many occasions to bend the sidewall because of continuous use (weight),...this was not on a v35 thou.

Sorry to revive an old thread but was just woundering if anyone has done the scissor door mods since this post was started, im looking at doing it in the next few months and i have found some bolt on kits that do not need any cutting into the body links are below.

as it is on a gas struts the doors should open on there own like a bonnet does or atleast make it easy to open the doors.

I have fitted lambo door kits before on a late model celica. Big job, requires taking the whole front end off the car. And very fiddly to set up. Did require some trimming of the inner guard.

If you are going to get a kit would reccomend spending the money and getting a good quaility kit.

It did look very porn after it was done!

One of my initial plan too. But got put off by the weight of the doors. Plus, I had to get RTA certificate to be legal which cost anywhere between $1.5k-$2.5K on top.

Definitely not good for under weight girls too.

Looks hot though. :thumbsup:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
