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

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
