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

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road

      Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
