I managed to change pads without removing calipers in Skylines.

wow. Well i learnt something new today, i never even thought to attempt it.

Kaz buy your pads somewhere, go into a mechanic shop and tell them to fit them for 30$ no questions asked if they say no try another shop. If they say your discs need machining say i dont care. It should only take 30 min so sit and watch them like a hawk..

Or if u feel confident just do it yourself

see this is the only thing that stops me halfway through lol .... the male brute force..

pulled off my radiator hoses no worries but this one vacuum hose.. FCKME too hard, still cant get it off

i probably have even less strength than you do though.

AND..

I don't want to go to school!

Ok few tips

leverage is your friend

hoses come of a lot easier if you warm them with your hairdryer first

and it is best not to say things like "FCKME too hard" when you're in a room full of men :P

It's easy. Hardest part is pushing the pistons back. Nothing a set of crowbars can't fix

+1, I used long screwdriver once but thinner and flat surface crowbar is ideal.

no screwdriver? you need crowbars? =(

If you have long screwdriver, you can 'push' the pistons with both hands, but long and flat surface crowbar is easier.

I have no upper body strength at all. Kinda look at it uselessly and then call my mechanic... Or bf... :P

I can change a wheel though!

    • @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar       
    • Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
