both are gull wings but lambo doors you can open in car parks merc doors you cant due to the angle it opens at

erik are you thinking about doing this to a skyline?

if yes id say dont do it unless you are building a show car like troy said its a complete waste of money and will make the car hard to sell if you ever want to get rid of it

gullwing doors would rock - eriktufa if you're going to do it you'll need to talk to a bodybuilder (no - not like dan) and see how the hinge arrangement would work.. I don't see it being too hard to design, but bear in mind you would be manufacturing the parts from scratch so I'd say it would be rather expensive..

But waaaay cool... :P

I know this thread is a done deal already, but only just yesterday I went to the SuperAutobacs Car Show in Kobe. They had a VERY modified EG9 Civic, with Lamborghini-style swing-up doors, and S2000 headlights... insane.

When the pics are done I'll put 'em up if your interested.

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
