lol i thought this might be interesting duno if theres a topic about this but I have heard too many people that argue both sides for different reasons.

So what do you think? After a job well done under your bonnet, do you hold n drop ur bonnet or do you gently press it till it locks in?

Drop it!!!! but only from a few inches up. :domokun:

I've got a standard bonnet and press it down. It's stock so as long as you're not pressing it down from the middle then it should be fine.

I've heard somewhere about fiberglass bonnets cracking from pressing down?

i drop mine, coz my panel beater told me that he has seen big hand size dents on bonnets coz people press on them.

but what about the boot? :P do you guys drop it or press it?

i drop mine too...

Drop if its a GTR, my spring tension is a little high on clip, so I drop it from a little higher than most recommend, 5-7in is about right for me.

Its funny when you go to lift a non GTR bonnet, its so damn heavy in comparison you think its still locked :P

I push mine, but i make sure i have one hand either side so its not pushing down in the middle. Mines CF but so i doubt it would dent like a standard one...? Otherwise drop from a small height. Boot i have to almost slam shut otherwise it pops open.

yeh boot drops easy. i would of thought that pressing ur bonnet in the middle would be the best spot... or are you's talking about the actual centre of the bonnet. Im think where the catch lock is put ur hand on that, shouldnt bend huh. I can imagine pressing from one of the font corners, stuff that.

I wana lift up a GTR bonnet now. sounds very lite. I can do shoulder press with my bonnet. Gona open up a new gym, no weights just skyline bonnets. haha

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
