F.A.Q. – Frequently Asked Questions (GT
Factory Diablo Door Hinge Conversion Kit)
Q. How do I know
if the “universal” Diablo kit will work on my vehicle?
A. We have done a huge variety of vehicles including cars and trucks
and although some are harder than others, we are yet to find a vehicle
that will not accept the conversion. It does take some intelligence to
figure out the correct placement of the parts in each vehicle. The
Diablo hinge and or car may need some modification to sit flush against
the car and door, so shop around for a custom shop that you are
comfortable with doing this kind of work on your car.
Q. Will this be a bolt
on kit?
A. It is actually harder to bolt it on because you have to drill your
factory hinges bolt pattern into the half inch chromoly base plate and
door plate and after you get it bolted up, the stock hinge mount might
not be strong enough, so just have it welded on to achieve a quick and
reliable install.
Q. Can I open them
normally and up depending on what I feel like?
A. Yes, it has up to 25 degrees of horizontal motion.
Q. Have you taken into
consideration the weight of the door and glass?
A. Yes, the lift supports supply 300 pounds of force per side to
motivate the doors up. On most cars the supplied lift supports make the
door feel weightless when you lift it up. Cars with light doors will
feel like the door wants to spring up on its own when you lift it.
Q. Why should I buy the
Diablo Hinge conversion instead of doing a custom hinge myself?
A. GT Factory, the manufacturer of this kit, have been doing Lambo door
conversions for almost four years now, and the Diablo mechanism is a
very advanced CAD designed CNC machined precision work of art. GT
Factory have gone through countless revisions and designs to achieve
this excellent product, which is like nothing else on the market. GT
Factory has spent so much time on R&D that a Lamborghini could have
been bought instead. This is why the design is registered with the US
patent and trademark office.
Q. I want the doors to
go straight up (not butterfly doors)?
A. That's precisely why this is the undisputed best looking Diablo
conversion, they do look straight up like the original Lamborghini.
Which is unlike other “lambo style” kits where the door is flopped over
at an angle when up!
Q. What is the Diablo
conversion like while in motion?
A. It opens out then up, then closes down and in. It is limited to the
L shape pattern. The door will not hit the quarter panel or rocker
panel, or the hood, or the A pillar, or the fender. Opening the door
like the stock motion before it goes up allows us to use all of the
factory locks, latches, seals, and wiring.
Q. What parts am I
getting?
A. You only need one kit for both doors. The package includes 2 Nickel
plated Diablo hinge conversion
mechanisms, 4 Gas charged lift supports, all stainless steel hardware,
Loctite and instructions. All our shipments are fully insured.
Q. What makes the GT
Factory Diablo Conversion different from the other lambo style
conversions available?
A. First the unique mechanism and swing arm of the GT Factory Diablo
Conversion kit allows the door to rise straight up and over the fender
up to 90 degrees vertical. The other kits flop the door on its side
when up and only allow you to lift the door about 60 degrees. Secondly
the GT Factory Diablo Conversion kit is simply stronger. The mechanism
and swing arm have zero flex which prevents the doors from wiggling
around in the air when they go up. The strength of the Diablo kit
combined with the weld in install means that the conversion is safe and
it will last forever. Lastly, we have the only four way adjustable kit
out there, so with a twist of a wrench you can keep the door perfectly
aligned with the car when closed, and you can make sure both doors
match when they are up. The bottom line is that every feature of the
Diablo Conversion was designed to be the best, from the stainless
hardware to the nickel plated finish, and GT Factory backs it up with a
Limited Lifetime Manufacturer's Warranty!
Q. What modifications
are necessary to mount the Diablo kit on my car?
A. You must cut the inner edge of the fender and cut or flatten chassis
extrusions that prevent the swing arm proper horizontal range.
Q. Is the Diablo
Conversion reliable enough for my daily driver?
A. Yes, The Diablo mechanism is stronger and more precise than your
factory hinge.
Q. Will the door jam
look nice with the door open?
A. Yes, because the entire nickel coated mechanism is concealed within
the fender area except for the swing arm extending from the slot cut in
the inner fender. Over all it looks quite clean and like an O.E.M.
item. The car also appears completely unchanged with the door closed.

mechanisms to be free from defects in material and or workmanship under
normal use and exposure to environmental elements. Not covered under
