thanks turboluke.. my new shell did come with the tail shaft, but i was told that i will need a n/a tail shaft as the turbo tail shaft wont go into the n/a auto box as they are differently splined or something...

auto in all RB vl is the large spline.i belive the internal shafts are different. NA man is small spline used in bluebirds auto/nanual. turbo man is larger spline close to the auto.[havent had one to check but the are suposed to have the same splines]. there are different combination of dust sheilds rear box and yoke. these are simply removed/swaped.and change over time or import.
