(i have everything stripped out so mine may be louder then others) Can see some of the info on page 5. took me about 2hr 30min to do. Was my first time so i took my time, measured everything, and checked everything twice.

Yeah I plan on taking my time as well. Well thanks for the feedback, I've been writing out a couple notes and just added some of your info with sizes/etc..
Would like to drift my daily but if possible still have something reasonable to drive through a canyon without having the rear end trying to slide out. But again, drifting is the goal/priority so if a "happy medium" can't be somehow met a shimmed set up for drifting it is, just not all out aggressive. I would like to have something daily friendly and still be able to get both wheels going when trying to drift dry or wet. ...if any of that makes sense.
Anyways, being that I have an S13 VLSD I wont have to mess with the ring gear, output shafts, etc. That that would mean I'm really just taking it out, opening it up, checking which shim I have and then either stacking or replacing it with a larger one (all sizes depending on what I originally have), putting everything back together and done? And the shim to change/stack would be #17? (as seen below)
Also the only thing I don't
think I totally grasp is correctly measuring the slack. I understand I'll need a feeler gauge to do so but that's about it. That threw me off a bit. I was thinking just taking the O.G. shim measuring it and then just finding out what size I'll need to stack on top of it and done? Having trouble visualizing it.
And you have 1.43 but that won't lock up very well right? So for my 'need' I believe would have to go bigger than 1.43 and more so into the realm of EvoVIII808 of 2.28 (1.01 + 1.27) or just barely below that.
And finally, thanks for putting up with my shit. I'll buy a drink or a snack or something from somewhere by the meet on Weds. You've been a great help with this.
edit: also this kind of goes for anyone/everyone to answer... did you guys go by factory torque specs when putting everything back together or just tighten it down to what you thought was good? i.e. using the numbers from above.
