I've had the diff case mostly off the car (just the central drive shaft / prop shaft left connected to it) and had the axles out of the diff before so I'm fine with that part, but once we open the case up that's all new to me. Just want to be sure what I'm getting myself in for if I try replace the diff myself (looking at replacing it with a 1.5 way kaaz clutch type if that makes any difference to anything)

If you're opening up the pumpkin and swapping any part for another part, you'll have to do at least some amount of reshimming I would imagine. If you want a lower FD and want to swap for the Lexus IS300 pumpkin, it's a simple swap. Not sure if that helps. If you don't want to do it, a shop could do it without any headache for you.
