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

Yeah, I press in the centre as well, but not the centre, middle centre, if you know what I mean. :P

I press it down.

If you press it down where the catch mechanism is, there will be NO dents.

Dropping it just seems lazy and some times it does not always lock in and chances you might break the catch mechanism.

Drop it.

It's hard to press with the same force every time; and pushing that bit too hard will result in a dent.

Whether or not it dents you will end up with finger marks; whether they are noticeable depends on how clean it was to begin with.

Figure out the minimum height required to drop and securely latch your bonnet by starting at a 5cm drop and increasing by

a few cm each time till it latches. Gravity doesn't change by much no matter where you are on earth; so once you figure

the minimum height out it should not change. Lighter bonnets require more height :D

Regards,

Saliya

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
