I use to own a s13 silvia, I rember that u had to screw the callipers on the back 2 brakes. I think to screw them in u screw them clockwise. I used a pair of long nosed plyers to do this, Had to be carefull of the rubber boot. Not sure what the skylines have for their back brakes setup, have not pulled my back wheels of yet. They sure will be a different type but may work the same, i'd imagine. check If there are to little notches on oppisite sides of the calliper. Cus that's what i used to screw the calliper back on the s13.

Its nearly 12 months since I did them on mine, and I'm pretty sure I just pushed the pistons back in.

The Skylines use a 2-pot caliper on the rear - how would you get the appropriate tool onto the piston if you had to screw it back in?

ok guys im with you now, because its a 2 pot caliper set up they have to push in. the reason i said screwed in was all the other cars i have done the rears screwed in but then i thought all the others where single piston!!!!

Actually, belly_up is probably closer - only those calipers that incorporate the handbrake have the screw-in type piston. My R30 has screw-in piston, Peugot 504 has screw-in piston. Both are single-pot, but both incorporate the handbrake into the caliper.

      I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
