Looking around Perth for a s13 CA18 Manual tailshaft at the moment. Have yet to speak with anyone who has one.

Is the front yoke on a CA18 shaft the same as the s13 SR20 manual tailshaft??? It is going to be cut up and shortened anyway and have found plenty of Sr20 tailshafts.

you need to find a front yoke with rebuildable uni joints, and the rear to suit your diff.

I used a BLUE 180B tailshaft for the front bit and tailshaft, The tailshaft guy put new back uni-joint and flange on to suit the BW.

Full custom can cost up to $700..no kidding. Tht's using all new parts. Consider that the worst case scenario when getting pricing.

Your on the money with the price and this is why I left this till last.

So a 180B Tail Shaft will fit the standard CA18 Manual gearbox?

Had a look in the manual but it does not cover the tailshaft. What does the BLUE Donate

i have a shortened stanza, in my coupe, standard flange suits bw diff, don't use a ca tailshaft they aren't rebuidable

BLUE is the color. Difference between local and imported 180B??
I think blue ones were local because I found one at the first wreckers I went to. Dunno. I was told by an expert to find a blue one..and it worked. Didn't do too much more research. In a light car, the wheels are more likely to spin than we are to twist and break a tailshaft. Worn out Uni joints will also cause most breakages.

ps. I still had to have mine shortened. And I'm using the S13 box.

If you get stuck, we can supply a completly new 3inch tailsharft with re-buildable unis to any length for about $550.
