2JZ - Destroyer of Drivetrains

Having claimed three Supra 5-speeds already, my 2JZ isn't finished yet. Last night it unleashed its wrath on the front uni joint of my modified Hilux tailshaft. And boy, did it pay!

This happened in unremarkable circumstances. Brisbane CBD at about 10:30 last night, stopped at the lights, normal launch, floor it halfway through first - BANG! The car kept driving but it had a horrendous vibration. I pulled over but couldn't see anything obvious wrong (stupid low cars), so I decided to limp it home very slowly and hope for the best. Don't ask me how I made it but I did!
Once home I jacked up the back of the car, put it in second and let the clutch out with the engine running. Had a look underneath with everything spinning and... let's say it looked rather amusing but scary at the same time.  Not sure if the tailshaft itself is damaged, hopefully I can just replace the uni and it will be all good again.
Great timing though - I have to fix/replace a tailshaft a couple of months before I'm getting rid of it as part of the 6-speed conversion. Bah!!
