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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
