"Restan tres días" is normally rather literary (in Spain).

Qué tal ..... no hace falta VS no hace resta? Gracias.

"Hacer falta" is an idiom. You can't replace the verb and expect it to work. It is like replacing "pay attention to" with "Give money attention to", since "to pay" can often be replaced with "to give money".
