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!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
