Shortening Drive shaft

[s13eater]

feck me if i can do them, then i'am sure you can mate ,i think i shortend mine by 8mm and same as mart says, just swap the end off of the s13 shaft onto the s12 shaft, its so you have a flanged end on the s12 shaft.

Was it 8mm? I can't remember what I did but just by looking at the passenger S13 shaft shows you exactly what to do.

If it looks like this afterwards then you're on the right track:

I'm happy with swapping the CV joint, it's just the modding of the S12 output shaft to fit in the vLSD that I didn't like the look of. I must admit I really took one look at it and thought "sod it I'll just shorten the drive shaft" because at the time it seemed like a better option. I'll pop the S13 output shaft from the diff again at the weekend and have another look at it and see if I can sort it. If it works there'll be a vLSD conversion in the 12 costing the princely sum of £60! Bargain.... If I don't fuck it up!
