Vlsd differential shimming
Hi I recently purchased low mileage g37 vlsd internals ,but I want to shim the differential to lock as if it was welded because I'm tired of my current vlsds unreliability, everyone says to do it, but fail to give any advice how to?
Can someone point me in the right direction?
(I googled,I used the search function nothing came up,I also dug through all the diy)
Thank you in advance for your time.

It's more reliable to weld a open diff

^^^^ wrong
You must have not been around Nussans long. Shimming is a common thing with worn VLSD in the 240 world

I do know about it, and it's a bullsh!t baller mod. All you'd be doing is inducing some drag into the system, and it will not act either as a 1.5 or 2-way LSD in any form. I suppose if you shim it tightly enough, you'd get a locked diff, but what's the point? Just do the other bullsh!t baller mod and weld an open diff.

The old vlsd I already have has 160k on it as the g37 vlsd I got for $30 had 60k and was simply pulled to be replaced by a tomei diff.
