Scissor doors anyone?

The Z looks nice like that but I don't think the G would. The doors are not made for a daily driven car. The doors seem a little heavy and the whole window moving when you open the door would be my concern. It looks great on a show car.
Do the door move more out of the way? Looks like youe head might not clear the doors.

Those are the only pics I could find. The person who posted the pics didn't seem to know much about it. I know for a fact that the design used on the 3000GTs has the door open out a little bit then almost completely vertical. So that would eliminate the problem of the window seal etc. I just thought it was interesting and would let you guys take a look at it.

definitally looks cool, but based on the weight of the door, it probably is impractical for a daily driver. If you do it and it works out, it's certainly be something I'd consider doing.

It would have cost $1900 for my 3000GT to have scissor doors installed with hydraulic assist. The hydraulic thing is similar to that used to hold up our trunk, and was there for safety more than anything. 3000GTs have very heavy doors, and nobody complained about the door being too heavy to lift. I am pretty sure that kits like this typically cost 2000-2800. The guy who designed the one for the 3000GT was just running a group buy for members of the forum.

It shocked me to learn that too. But after having heard from multiple members of that board that they didn't find it to be a laborous task and seeing a video of somebody opening it with ease, I was a believer.

People who had to replace the hydraulics for the hoods on 3000GTs only had to pay about $110 for replacement parts. I think that it would be a pretty cool mod to have.
