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!

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
