ouch that is a pretty heavy hit

IMO there would have been far too much force required to do that in a single blow by hand.

i reckon someone in a 1 tonner ute with a high tray or flat bed truck back into it at a slight angle.

That sux man. I've had people do hit'n-runs 3 times on my Peugeot 205 GTI. At least all panels on your car can be replaced. Peugeot stopped making the rear red reflector strip about 10 years ago. They can go for $1000 now-a-days for one that says Peugeot 205 GTI.

Definitely a bar of some sort. You can see the bar mark clearly. Looks like some one has swung down at the boot.

Must have been a damn hard hit or the bar had some serious weight behind it for it to push the whole boot lid up. Probably hit it so hard it hurt the blokes hands which is why there's no further damage anywhere else.

yeah i agree! the dent looks like it's been dug into and push rather than hit by a bar

You'll be surprised how the hit of a bar can push metal around. Especially if its a nice solid metal bar.

Due to the angle of the impact point (that is clearly a metal rod of some sort) it looks as if some one has swung a bar at a slight off centre angle from above their head.

The angle of the impact point is what makes it hard for myself to believe some one has backed in to it.

Definitely a strange one.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
