I picked up a r31 diff off a mate for my ca 1200 sedan project.
Just wondering where people have gotten there's modified, what sort of price, And what they were like to deal with. I live bout 450km from either Melb or Sydney So wanna look around before travelling! Cheers wardy

I got mine done at Bosnjak engineering in Sydney. It's been through my punishment and a theft and feels as tight as the day I picked the ute up!

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 http://preview.hotfox2.com.au/MandA/?page_id=27 There is also the Diff Doctor: http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/cp/diff-doctor-550264903N04W-N04W%23215267699%23Diff+Doctor.html & Southern Differentials: http://www.yellowpages.com.au/act/phillip/southern-differentials-12173197-listing.html No real websites just contact details lol. Craft in Sydney also seem to be popular if you trawl through magazines.

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

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

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 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
