Pillarless Skylines?

[T0nyGTSt]

I have a really gay question.

I saw an old Monaro on the weekends (not one of the gay current Simcoe designed 2 door Commodores) and it has this really cool feature.

It has no B pillars, and the passenger windows wound down.

Wouldn't this be cool on a Skyline? I know it's silly but the old Monaros with the flexible chassis has a great 'open air' feel with everything wound down.

So a set of electric window motors from the wreckers and an angle grinder? Would work wouldn't it?

Or you could just buy a 31 Passage... They are B pillarless... And they have 4 doors

[0HR-30T]

So are HR30/DR30 Skyline coupes Pillarless,and rear quater windows power down

The Y31 Cima (VG30DET) I am currently bringing in is pillarless, pimp pimp hooray

got body flex?

[funkymonkey]

well if you don't count your door frame as a pillar then i think all skylinesa are pillarless too

and no don't angle grint shyte unless you want your car to end up lookin like mariam... bulging in all the wrong parts.

yeah my DR30 is pillarless .. no power windows on mine though just winders. the windows dont wind straight down and out of the way tho they sorta only go 1.3 of the way down and end up at a 45degree angle angled forwards coz of the rubber bit on the front of the rear window for the front windows the seal against, if u get me. so u cant just have a big gaping hole with all windows down haha

and yeh it does flex a bit. thats y im trying to get a Jenesis Centre Floor Bar which is like a strut brace that bolts into the floor across the middle behind the front seats to stiffen the chassis =]

any one ever tried making the rear quater windows open on an R32?

[Duncan]

got hammer?

[funkymonkey]

there's a mob that have been offering to give people the option of rear quarter windws that open for years... they're called thieves.

[Parag0n]

got hammer?

quality post there mate

[usuckpoo]

this may sound dumb but why to the theives like to smash the rear quarters?

(Ive been hit before)

esp when the rear quarters usually cost more than the fronts (on my ex honda at least)

The Quater windows smash easier

i used to have a skyline with pilarless windows.... it was a 1978 Nissan Skyline Datsun GL, had a 2.4 straight 6 and went like a datsun.... still better then a commodore.....

[NA_R33]

dude you would have to investigate and chat to an engineer to find out wether it is a structural part of the, most skylines as the are, are very flexible and i dont know if this would be a wise idea although would be very cool...

[pooski]

the back windows in my one wound down too, but it left a weak spot between the two windows, that made it easy to break into... if i locked my keys in it, i could push a coat hanger in, and push the rear windlow winder sown enought to get my arm in and wind it all the way down.... then the cars all yours.... it also didnt help being able to open the drivers door with a knife..... this lef to 3 steriod being stolen.... i guess it shows how stubborn i am !

well seeing as the car isnt going to be driven everyday because its going to be a show car/ weekend car and im tryng to do different things to the car to make it stand out

little things like that make the car unique and attention to detail is something i enjoy and its a challenge and thats what makes a car stand out

im not saying make the car pillarless i just wanted the quater windows to open

[Zagan]

I don't think you can comply a Skyline without the B pillar as they have to strength it so it's up to the ADR rules.

A bit pointless taking out something that all ready has to be able to with stand at least 1,000+ kgs hitting it.

Show cars might be different but I'd say you'll find it hard to get a light rego on the car.

like i said im NOT trying to make it pillarless

i just wanted rear quater windows the open
