lol i thought it was funny.

but seriously rik it looks cool but its a defect if you get caught and you've paid all that money for nothing.

I remember reading an Autosalon magazine ages ago about this R34GTR from Indonesia that had scissor doors that could also be opened normally. Im thinking it was a custom job though. Worth a thought when your risking a bit of money...

thats the yellow one right ??

its actually a GTT.....but dayam it was HOOTTT and yeah Im thinking those custom doors cost a fair bit to make as well.

personally I dont think they suit skylines, looks ok but doesnt really suit it.

But if you are going to spend the money, its best to go for the ones with the gas shocks. The custom made hinge style ones arent of the best quality and you have to be REALLY delicate when opening the doors on them. Been in an S2000 that had the hinge kit on it and I was so paranoid each time I opened the doors.

yep their defectable. dunno why, maybe cos they may not be installed properly, or secured poperly, or if emergency services have to get u out of the mangled car and they cant figure out y its not opening like normal. probably way off

hey guyz i'm intreseted in getting lambo doors too.......... but just wanna know how high does the doors reach apporx can u still open the doors while urunder in a car park?????????????????????????????????

that my friends is a very good question!!!!!

i always wondered how on earth you could open the doors inside a shopping centre car park....

lol, that is the ugliest 33 I have seen in a loong time, could only be made worse by putting the chromies off the yellow car under it.  :P

It looks decidely "more" interesting in person.

With all the kit and stuff the car has such a huge weight now

if i recall it hasnt busted better than a 15 (or maybe it was a mid 14) each time ive seen it out.

the kit I saw from the web cost abt $1500 but they are reversible...

so basically chuck in the old hinge and everything's good again...

tbear are your kits reversible as well?

let's say I want to custom the hinge like the yellow GTT..do I go to panel shop or metal work guys?..huummm

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
