Message I'll try to keep the summary short and get to my question.

A couple months ago I bought a set of leader gears for my car. I live in Indianapolis area so I called around until I found a shop I had confidence could do them right. (I don't know of anyone local that has done a 300Z before.) We went through all the normal stuff, getting all the new bearings and seals etc which took a couple weeks. Thanks to Mark Leader as he has spent some time helping me with this information as well as a few of the guys on this forum.

The gears are in but we have had a terrible time getting them shimmed correctly. They have been completely redone twice and the shop owner still thinks they are not correct (Making noise on the test drive). I have been really patient since the shop hasn't charged me any additional labor but 8 weeks after we started I am ready to get the car back and enjoy this summer before it is over.

I have decided to just pull the diff and send it to someone that has done one of these gear sets before that I can be 100% sure the gears will be correct. (I understand this would have been a good idea from the beginning.)

I need recommendations of someone who can get it done correctly first, but then also in a decent time frame at a honest price. My car has been MIA too long and I don't even want to talk about how much I have already spent. The gears are in the diff, my understanding it only needs shimmed. Your help is appreciated.
