Question to you - What's the product look like?

Q: Sounds great, how can I order?

A: You can order through our website either by 2 methods, using a

credit card or sending us a Western Union Money Order using

BidPay which can be purchased online as well.

Sounds dodgy :)

weather they are dodgy or not I dont really know.. unfortunately it looks that way... the biggest problem that I have with all these lambo/scissor door kits that are out now is that they dont actually lift the door up high enough. most max out at about 65 degrees and would make it awefully difficult to get in and out of the car..

unfortunately also the kits that will make the door go to a verticle 90 degrees or very close to it cost a damn site more at approx 2.5K just for the hinges. but IMO if you want scissor doors then you wanna do it properly coz if there low its just going to be a major pain in the ass...

cheers

I agree with Bassula... If your gonna do it may aswell do it properly...

Also with some of the kits available today they alow the door toswing out around 45 degrees so you can still get out normally...

Here are some examples for you to see what I mean...

This skyline at final battle with a scissor door kit fitted and the doors hardly go up enough to get in and out of the car.. it would do nothing but piss me off trying to get in and out of that.

as opposed to this which is a friends car fitted with the before mentioned expensive kit. muc muh easier to get in/out of and looks a damn site better too.. :)

Does that Calibra have any trouble opening his doors in multi level carparks?

I just thought that with Lambos being so short, they wouldn't have any trouble, but with a taller car such as a Skyline it may have trouble. But if this Calibra doesn't have any trouble, then it should be alright on a Skyline.

as far as I am aware it doesnt.... but I'm not too sure if he would actually let his car visit a multistory carpark in the beginning tho..

but you can see by the pic that they lift up a fair way but its still fairly low in comparison to say a 4wd etc... I'll see if he know the exact height of it with the doors up.

cheers

scissor doors = Rice and only adds wank factor to the car...

I have to agree with Krzysiu. I'd feel like a wanker opening the door in a Skyline fittd with a Lambo door kit. I dont have a GTR badge on my GTS-t so I wouldn't want a Lambo door on a Nissan.

But each to their own. Good luck with it.

I thnk it is more the fact that it makes your car unique...

I dont' think everyone wants to drive around in a R33 that is no different to his neighbours R33...

One of the good kits would look quite good..

I would go the GTF Kit as it open full 90 Degrees and also alows you to get out without lifting the door... (for yor multi level car parks...)

I could get you the hinges..... as to finding some1 who can fit them I'm sorry I wouldnt know... a decent panel beater "should" be able to do it if they are willing to do a bit of custom work.... I have seen the GTF kits in the flesh and fitted to a car and I dont think they are overly hard to fit... would just have to take some time and patience to fit them...

if you are serious about it drop me a pm or something and I'll see if I can find you some more info...

cheers

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
