I know it's not cosmetic, it's damage, but I couldn't find anything about damaged skylines :( Help would be awesome

Well here is my situation; I was backing out of my friends driveway and they have a stone pillar which is on it's last legs. A kid slowly cruises past on his bike and waits for me to back out of the driveway, and leans on the stone pillar. You can guess what happened next. And yes the kid was fine. My car and temper weren't. So now I have a vertical approx 10 cm scratch on the corner of my back bumper. It's deepish it cuts about 3 mm into the bumper, and underneath the bumper (where it isn't visible) about 7 mm. Do you think I could cut and polish this, or would I need to replace the entire bumper bar?

Any help would be awesome :)

op u clearly have no idea

its a lil scratch dude.

just get it patched up and painted.

my front bar on my 34 was f**ked up after i hit one of those lil concrete blocks in a car park.

i stithed it all up with cable ties underneath and it came out perfectly from the panel shop after i got my car resprayed.

wtf would u need a whole new bumper for

It's a fairly deep and wide scratch, and yeh I'm going to go with fill and spray, which will probably cost as much as buying a new bumper :(

I wanted to do a DIY but no place I've been to has pearl white.

what kind of pearl white is it.

my 34 is also pearl white (custom)

post up a pic

i see ur in victoria. take it to dt panels in springvale and vu will take care of it.

new bumper is $100, respray will cost $300-400 if you don't have mates rates

Does your bumper have the "SKYLINE" and 25GT badges? the only reason i bought a new bumper was coz i wanted those badges lol.

Rule of thumb is if you can see black its not able to be fixed without having it resprayed as its taken the paint right off and dug into the plastic.

and if your planning on buying a body kit, do it before you fix the bumper as your going to be paying for a respray anyway you may as well put an aftermarket kit on and spray that instead.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
