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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
