check it out guys, me and szeman4 were messing around today and just came up with this one. its the 90 degree door open mod. aka the "right-angle door mod". Takes little or no time or money either! Let me know if anyone wants a writeup, i'll put one together with some better pics.



another view from the front:

 

Interesting but i dont think i will waste time on that anytime soon.

 

My arms aint that long......haha

 

wow, people riding their bikes are really going to hate you

 

It's not really needed but I might try it if it's easy.

I would like to see how tho..

 

dont you just have to remove the plastic bar thing thats on the hinge?

 

clean that car, ..

 

snot mine, i just wiped mine down with a baby diaper for about an hour today

 

its pretty cool but i still like the flip flop trunk betta

 

it looks like a broken arm to me... ?

 

ummm, there's a reason why the door doesn't open to form a right angle

 

A gust of wind will send your door flying right into someone elses car.

 

people will still manage to slam their door into you. Even without the gust of wind

 

A strong gust of wind will possibly do some damage to the door/hinge if you leave the door like. Having the door being able to open at such a degree pretty much makes it into a sail. The mod might be good for those that do car shows though.

 

this would be a great mod if it can be done to the rear door as well. Just imagine how much easier it would be to put large items like a 27" tv into the backseat with a door that opens up that much.

 

i would be afraid ti would hit the fender......well you shoed up the pics, how do ya do it?

 

I would like to see a write-up with pics......please put one 2gether...

 

wow neato
ARGH>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

post a write-up. is this reversible? it'd be great to get the door open wider just for a few minutes and then put it back to normal

 

im assuming all you did was remove that small track the door uses as a guide?

definitly post a write-up with pics!

Ant

 

Interesting.
I don't know if I would do it, but it is interesting nonetheless.

 

ummmm why????

 

NICE.....now it will be much easier to toss out that annoying passeneger at high speeds, or even the frustrating backseat driver!

Almost forgot the bikers, good call guys, hitting them square with the door instead of allowing them to rolloff the angled door will do much more damage!



Actually I am interested in the how to so lets hear it!

 

this might have more use for the rear two doors than the front two since you can get stuff in and out easier. still remembered trying to stuff a 21in monitor in the back seat of a honda and swore that i wish the doors opened up more!

 

so are you're saying that if he drives fast enough, and has his car doors open, the 'sail' door can turn his maxima into an airplane?

 

..........

 

This one reminds me of the time my cus rolled his Del Sol out of my drive way with the door open. He hit my 96 and made his own 90* door.

i like the fold seats down all the way make maxima into a bed mod.

 

new pontiacts have this feature. when i was in FL, i had a rental pontiac and it did this, its acutally a convinent thing, its nice when ur loading up the car, yeah post a write up

 

post write up.

I would love to have this for my rear doors! It's a pain trying to get S>>T into the back seat!

 

i wonder if that would work on the back doors and on a 5 gen? thats an intresting mod, good job.

 

It would be a good idea to do it to the backdoor because I've loaded big things in the back and the main problem is the door opening isnt big enough to make loading easy.

Plus the rear doors arent open much so it wont be flying into ppls doors..with me anyway.

 

i would like to see a write up also, especially if it can be done the rear.

 

there is still NO writeup for this? C'mon man,,,, we wanna see!

 

find out how to do the back doors! then im in lol

 

holy crap you guys i have to confess, this was supposed to be a joke and i was going to post a follow up after a couple people made fun of it and we all had some laughs (but people actually want to see this mod happen?!??), i got really busy at work and kinda forgot about this thread. didn't mean to mislead anybody.

We were working on our friends max last weekend and his car got brutally sideswiped a little while ago, still many things broken, one being the hinge on the door is broken, and the door seems to open up as far as you want it to... it scrapes the front quarter panel so this might not be something to further pursue... but maybe we stumbled on an idea for the rear doors out of a joke gone horribly wrong?

 

damn YOU!!! i was looking forward to the rear door mod...

 

sonofabit*h i hate you. just playing,but i think your abit late for april fools.

 

A writeup would be sweet!

 

LOL

 

you should make the hood 90 degrees
