Cant the left output shaft be used from the s13/s14 diff?

No because it makes the shaft too long, and it full compresses up the cv joints and it even pushes the swing arm outwards

Got that, well i think that wount be a problem (first i need to make the car runing again , now thats bit of a problem)

Cheers for all the info mate, couldn't have asked for more. Doesn't look too bad a job. Just one question - Instead of machining the left inner cv joint - could i not just use the cv off an S13 on S12 shaft?

That was the same question by Saras in post 6, to which the answer is no because the shaft will be too long then due to the larger size of the S13 CV housing and shaft.

Of course if you wanted you could have the shaft shortened a little by a propshaft company such as recoprop.

Ah - don't know how i missed that. Well that's hopefully the only problem i'll have - except finding a cheap s13 diff of course. Cheers for all you help, i really appreciate it

An S13/14 diff will cost about £80.

One question.
Does the s12 left output shaft has to be remachined to took like s13 vlsd input shaft right or left one?????? Because i have bought s14a vlsd and Im now in the proces of preparing nad copleting nececery parts.

The left shaft has to look like the left shaft originally inside your LSD. It will be the shaft left over, so its apparant which one to use.

In principle, you're shortening it by 8 ish mm, deepening the existing groove to take a snap ring.

The work can be done with a cheap angle grinder and a cutting disc.
