Can anyone tell or direct me to a thread where you can see the hidden bonuses for all races?
I search and just can't find one, but I know I saw one once.
I'm talking about things like Twileks get extra buff time etc.

I haven't seen a thread on it, but when you first select your character, you can click on Attributes and see what they are.
Maybe "somebody" could make a list of all those, so it would be easy to find.
Edit: Alakazham did it........ go to the following page, and select the characters one by one to see everything you ever wanted to know about them.

Quoted-
"I had always noticed that I payed less for faction stuff than the listed amount, however never thought much about it until now. I recieved a /tell Kithzyan asking me if they know if Bothans recieved a hidden bonus that other races do not. I first suggested it may have something to do with the Imperials loosing COA however he was a Rebel, and he said the humans he talked to always paid the said amount. I never have seen or heard an explanation of this until now....so perhaps another alien could verify that they do or do not get a 10% discount on faction items and ranks(the number he figured out)"
Quoted-
"I've had this happen 2 days in a row now. I went to buff my husband's alt, a Twi'lek and he ended up with buff timers of 4 hr 6 min. I turned around with the same buff pack and buffed myself, a human, for 3 hr 44 min. The strength of the buffs were the same, but there's a 25 min timer difference? This happened Sunday night and again tonight."
Anyone else hear of this happening? Do different species get different timers?

Hidden info: Twileks get +10% bonus time on buffs.
Hidden info: Bothans get +10% discount on faction items and ranking costs.
I've seen each species hidden bonus (not shown on char creation screen, and they all get something). I'd refer you to the post where the community tracked them down but the moderators deleted the thread faster than the eye can see. I'll try to remember the info, but I wouldn't expect this thread to last long either.

That's a good site for the standard racial bonuses, but I think the original poster isreferring to the hidden bonuses.. which are rumoured, but (to the best of my knowledge) have never been confirmed or denied by the DEVs..
The only two I've heard of are the two already mentioned.. Mon Cals are meant to heal faster in water, and that Twi'leks get a bonus to buffs

I read that same thread, about mon cals recovering HAM faster in water and stuff. Can't find it now. I found some other good tidbitson swgcenter.com though. It's a pay site, so the link probly won't work.

Here's the gist of it though:
Bothan- 10% Scout xp bonus (scout), +15 Camoflage (ranger), +10 Take Cover (rifleman)

Ithorian- +10 Def vs Dizzy+ Stun, +10 Creature Taming Bonus (CH), +10 Power Systems (shipwright), +10Chassis/Power/Advanced Assembly (shipwright)
Mon Calamari- +3% Armorsmith/Structural Crafting xp (AS, architect), +7% Squad Leader xp (SL), +15 Alertness (marksman), +10 Weapon/Structure Assembly (WS, architect)
Rodian- 5% Scout/BH xp bonus, +15 Def vs Blind, +10 One/Two-Handed Accuracy, +10 Weapon Assembly (WS)
Sullustan- +10 Creature Harvesting (scout), +10 Trapping (scout), +10 Engine/Booster Assembly/Weapon Systems (SW)
Trandoshan- +10 UA Accuracy, +5 UA Speed, +15 UA Damage, +10 Melee Defense, +10 Creature Harvesting (scout), Trandoshan Regeneration- small constitution buff, can be enhanced w/ Karkan Ribenes (chef food)
Twilek- 7% Dancing xp bonus, 3% Music xp bonus, +15 Wound/BF Healing- Dance, +5 Wound/BF Heal- Music(entertainer)
Wookiee- +10 Creature Taming (creature handler) , +10 Trapping (scout), +10 Warcry (brawler), +10 Rescue (ranger), Wookieeroar (area Intimidate- 5 min timer, can be enhanced w/ Jaar, artisan drink)
Zabrak- +10 Def vs Dizzy/Stun/Intimidate, +5 Anti-shock (takes less wounds?), Equilibrium (balance HAM bars, on 60 minute timer), Vitalize (small buff to HAM?- also on timer, 60 mins I think)

As far as faction penalties, here's who the Empire penalizes when buying IMPERIAL faction stuff-
3x- Wookiee, Mon Cal, Rodian
2x- Bothan, Trandoshan
1.5 Twilek
I guess this means wookiees, mon cal, and rodians get penalized the most, but I don't have anything to test this against since I'm rebel. I guess they like twileks enough to enslave them. Humans and Zabraks aren't penalized at all.

I was under the impression that Zabraks suffered a 2x penalty, and that Rodians also had the 2x.

I can confirm that my Twi'lek gets a bonus on the duration of doctor buffs.
