can the diff in a gen 1, 2.6, leaf spring paj be "re sh

[MOO_R32]

hey all,

b4 i go and weld the rear diff... i was wondering if the rear diff in a gen 1, 2.6, leaf spring paj be "re shimmed?" iv done this many of times in customers cars (skylines and silvias) which are "viscus lsd" im not sure what kind of lsd the paj is... any tricks or info would be great! if all else fails ill weld it as its holding me back atm

cheers in advance

From what ive read and seen,the short answer is yes. But its not like shimming say, and R200 diff. The paj ones run multi pack clutch type, with about 7 or so "clutches" and the same in "discs" from what ive read in the Paj workshop manual they ALL get replaced. Its not as simple as just dropping in a thicker shim and tightening her up.
Sounds like it would be an expensive operation, I know my Gen1 had a reco LSD fitted before I bought it, receipts indicate about $600 Exchange, and that was a few years ago now.
I opted to go with an Air locker instead, they come up on ebay every now and then and fetch about $500 or so. Either this, or source an Open diff from an EXE model and weld it?
