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!

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
