I invented search.
I did search but too much old crap to wade through because people chit chat in tech! :finger:

So who can I take my lovely old G52 to in Melbourne, to get it reconditioned/changeover at a good price?

Knox driveshafts, very good work ( did an ace custom shaft for my lexus v8 cressida ) and very reasonable cost, cheaper than the others.
