I picked up a 180b tailshaft from the wreckers on saturday for $50 which is
exactly the right length. I is happy. I sent another message to pete about
my weekend if you wanna good read.
I found my measurometer too. The bluebird sway bar is 20mm diameter, and the
skyline unit is 25mm. Not much difference, but it fits and is much heavier.
I found that when I dropped the car off the bricks, it sat a little closer
to the sump than I'd probably like, but is still quite adequate.
