Hi mate, shimming a diff is adding shim washers to the LSD to make it tighter after it has loosened with wear and become inaffective, should really be done by a Pro.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
