What Col said. Assuming it's to remain a street car, check for legality before you spend a cent.

If you absolutely must go ahead with it - and I really hope you don't, personal preference I guess but I hate scissor doors - then places that handle Autosalon-style cars would likely be your best bet. Check any Hot4's/Autosalon/Fast4's/whatever mag for feature cars with the body mods you're looking for - there will usually be contact details for the shops that have done the work alongside the story. Doing it properly won't be cheap though.

It is illegal unless u can get an autorised engineer to install and approve them in written form, but because the are considered dangrous according to the government it is doubtful u can get it legal since no engineer will approve it. but u can put them on and hope you dont get done..... i know that taking them off is much harder then putting them on. doesnt matter if its bolt on or not you need to have it welded to ensure it sits in the right place.

You can get these online and shipped otherwise hit up some body shops i know some can order them in.

I thought Lambo first invented sizzor doors so you could reverse their stupid designed car and actually see where your reversing (open the door and stick your head out) without having the worry of a horizontally opening door.

It was easier for Lambo to do this then redesigning the whole rear of the car.

Sizzor doors on Lambo = Stupid manufacturer after thought.

Sizzor doors on anything else = EPIC FAIL

Your almost right...

It was actually cause the wheel track was so wide, it enabled people to park a lambo in a stnadard car space and still get in and out easily...

This however didnt help the normal cars parked either side and would probablly end up with door dints cause thy were so fat*...

*fat = wide... not phat or awesome...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
