how much and what diff?

i actually got my diff shortened 1 cm each side shorter so i can run wider wheels , in my opinion i was happy with the job and explained everything to me that i needed to no. as long as you tell him what u want he will do it. apparently his buit drag cars and some tuff street cars that have been featured in mags

cheers pigdog! if i do decide to go that way ill give ya a yell!

Dat82 and hotrocket.. were you guys happy with the job they done? i take it they shortened and resplined axles aswel? I like the one in leeton coz its only around an hour away! haha

had my R31 diff & axles shorten at dubbo diff & driveline $620 year ago

Hey wardy theres a guy in leeton called super duty engineering. he did mine for 700 bucks. all i did was take him my old diff and he shortened to the same length, that was after i chopped all the crap of it. he also strengthend the tubes for me

if you do it yourself give us a PM, can probably give you measurements on how much needs to be cut out and how much shorter then axles needs to be...think ive still got it all somewhere

Ah yeah well ill have no trouble cutting everything off myself! Might even talk to a couple of mates who do a lot of fab work if they are keen on shortening ourselves.
Would save a fair few bucks on just getting the axles shortened and resplined!

if you cut all the mounts off yourself then you will save a bit of money also. have heard as low as $700 for shortening. think i got quoted around $1000 if all the mounts were cut off. then ended up shortening it myself anyway

Awesome thanks a lot mate! Might make a few calls and see what I can sort out.
Would rather take it to canberra coz its only 2.5 hours away lol.
I already have a diff so from things I've heard it should be round $800 I'm hoping

I got them to supply it and everything so it would be a bit more haha. I forget the exact price cause I got V&E to sort it out when the my CA converision was done and that's who they use.

Yeah there's a few places In Canberra that could do it.

M&A Engineering in Canberra have a good reputation locally
