big topic the other day :)

give these guys a try http://www.autofashion.co.uk/

 

There based not far from me in Norwich the 106 on the right is my mates car Symo. they have made a really nice job on it. They do Gull Wing aswell as Lambo and another type aswell.

good pictures of a z with the doors at (vixxem motersports door convertions)

AAAARRRGGHHHH!!!!

 

another one!

 

What's with you guys? This was a daft idea on a Lamborghini Countach in the 70s, but on a Nissan? I mean, of all the modifications you can do to a zed - why would anyone ever consider this abomination!

 

I suppose at least this guy is from Essex so it's not all his fault. :D

I know they're just so 70s aren't they!

 

Who would build a car with silly doors like that these days? ;)

 

 

Hmm...

 

Engine 4.6 l / V8 Power 655 hp Torque 553 lb-ft / 750 Nm @5000 0-60mph 3.2 Top Speed 240 mph / 390 kph Weight 2425 lb / /1100 kg

 

Yes please

every one has different tasts in mods and styling for there zs,some like to keep theirs original,some like to go wild.i like them all,

But when you consider the engineering involved to acheive this kind of style statement then I'm sorry, but alarm bells have to ring.

 

I am a highly experienced and qualified design professional and I'm glad there are people out there pushing the envelope, but there has to be a point when you admit that you've run of course. The images above just show how far from common sense some designers can get in the search for 'art'. How can they justify the weight of hinges and counterbalences required to achieve that type of pivot? And if you ever park on the crest of a hill your door will bottom out on the ground!

 

Damn ugly too IMHO!

I'm sorry but those doors are so unpratical but so is my Z

 

but they are cool!

the you understand that deisgn is about making products that also appeal to people? i doubt we would all be driving around in robin reliants if they had the same speed and handling as the 300zx. (well andyp would)

 

But then again you name is nigel, do you have a flat cap and smoke a pipe also? ;)

I agree with Nigel. I'm not a fan of the scissor doors on the Zed, but I do love the Koenigsegg. Brutality in a beautiful package. IMHO.

 

I love over engineering, have you ever seen the hinges on a MkI Elise? They are wonderful pieces of cast/machined alloy, and for 99% of the time you don't see them.

 

As for the praticality of the doors on the Koenigsegg... my betting would be that whoever buys one of those beauties will have a stable of other cars to choose from. Anyway praticality can be measured in degrees, my Chimaera is totally impractical in comparisson to a Euro box, and the 5ltr V8 is totally OTT where a 1.2ltr would bet me from A to B allbeit not quite as swiftly - the answer is; so what? If designers were governed by the restrictions of praticality then Westfield wouldn't still be in business and we wouldn't have seen this pocket rocket...

 

 

Long may people write the cheques that allow designers to explore and push the boundaries.

You'll need to host the images somewhere on the net.

 

Once you have uploaded them to your webspace then you need to use the following code to show them in you post:

 

 

You need to remove the asterisk and space before and after the image location.

 

I think you have limited local hosting, i.e. you can upload your images to this site using the attach button at the bottom of the posting window, but I don't use this facility, so I'll leave the explanation of this to other people.

 

HTH
