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

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
