cant anyone help

The link that the other member has given you is to a Russian perons HOW TO DO IT and its execellent info - its really not that hard a job - I USED THE INFO and have installed Splitfires in an NA R34 - however I found that the HOW TO info is PARTIALLY INCOMPLETE in some parts - but luckily only in relation to the various vacum lines /connectors that you need to disconnect to remove the inlet manifold etc.in the area of the rear of the motor esp the r.h.s (presuming you are facing the motor at its front).

Start off using his info and when you near the end of undoing things and almost ready to remove the manifold etc you will see that there are some extra rubber vacuuum lines/connectors around the far rear RHS of motor that he has not mentioned - use common-sense and just undo them as needed leaving the hardware in place where possible - nearly all hoses/vacuum lines etc are a different diameter or have a differet clamp type so you should be able to avoid mixing them up on re-installation.

What I did and suggest is you mark everything you disconnent with tape or take a digital pic and/or record on paper each step and thing you do and later retrace. Its not a hard job and first time mat take about an hour to undo and same to replace.

Try not to damage any hoses etc as I don't know if yoiu can easily get replacement ones - and many hose and vacuum line clips are the pressure type and you may want to substitute screw type ones instead.

Also his MOTOR HAD NO STRUT BRACE in place when he did his coils but I found you can remove the manifold etc leaving the strut brace in place - seems untrue but try it by swinging the parts around carefully you can do it . In fact my strut brace bolts were so tight I could not undo some so had to leave it in place.

Also drain the hoses with collant in them well so you dont get water into the spark plug area and try not to lose any bolts clips etc in engine bay as its nearly impossible to find and retrieve anything, and the head is alloy so do not overtighten and strip threads when pulling or replacing plugs - DO PLUGS AT SAME TIME AS NEW CILS UNLESS THEY ARE NEAR NEW - you do not want to repeat the work.

Finally, you will have sore back muscles for several days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But will still feel good. I REPEAT ITS NOT A HARD JOB AND YOU DO NOT NEED SPECIAL TOOLS.
