I;ve only changed the drums once, and that was froma reakly old and fcuked hub. They are the same as most other drum shoe replacement jobs....fiddly but not hard.

If you haven't done them before just keep careful track of the direction of pins and clips and the order you take them off. Remember to adjust them after the disc is back on so that they don't quite touch with the handbrake off. Its a good opportunity to back off the adjuster in the cabin and take the slack with the adjuster on the cables under the car.

BTW why buy aftermarket drum shoes? standard ones are perfectly capable of holding (or if necessary locking) the rears when adjusted properly.

You'll be fine. Just take your time and do one side at a time, so if you get lost you can refer to how it should be on the other side. And take note of the shoe arrangement with the leading shoe towards the front of the car and the trailing towards the rear. This will become clear on inspection. Just make sure you have a good set of side/diagonal cutters and needle and flat nose pliers. Also scuff the inside of the drum up with some emery/sandpaper. Good luck.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
