Well, you need to change your differential and limits in accordance with the substitution...we have let:

$$\frac{1}{y}=8\tan(\theta)\,\therefore\,y=\frac{1}{8}\cot(\theta)\,\therefore\,dy=-\frac{1}{8}\csc^2(\theta)\,d\theta$$

Now, from our substitution, we find:

$$\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{8y}\right)$$

and so we use this to change our limits from $y$'s to $\theta$'s.

Can you put all of this together to express the remaining integral in terms of $\theta$?
