Yes well it isn't too bad. the person who hit my car while it was parked in Preston took off... leaving a 10cm inflextion on my rear bumper just under the right stoveplates.

The bumper has also come off on the right hand side by about a cm (probably the mounting has come loose from the impact or sumfin.)

The paint's cracked in the area and the plastic has sorta gone in in a shape which sorta looks like either the corner of a car or a bull bar or sumfin round as hit it in just one spot. The paint's chipping off, but the plastic dosen't look like it's cracks or fractured... jus inflexed by about a cm.

Dammit...

**** them dirty motha ****er

ARGH...

meh, jus had a closer look at it... the rear bumper isn't too bad, should sand out and with another coat should look the business...

but the real damage is to the bracket underneath... in one way i'm lucky the impact was right on the bracket, preventing the bumper from breaking. But the bracket is dented out of place (causing the bumper to come out a bit). I jus have to take it off and i guess flex the bracket back into place and it should be all good.

Does anyone know how to take the rear bumper off, and if the bracket that holds the bumper is part of the chassis, or if it comes off? Since Sam has a full black R32 GTS with a proper bumper I might grab a bracket off it or sumfin like that might be cheaper than gettint he bracket unbent.

I also found a yellow mark on the bumper... so looks like i either got hit by a taxi or a yellow car.

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
