If the J30 has an ABS sensor on the front then it would need the ABS DS. If not, then non-ABS DS.

^^^ Is this the sensor your talking about? I just pulled mine and was wondering what this cable looking thing is. It doesnt appear to have threads on it so I wasnt sure if it was some kind of a breather or something

Can i just take the driveshaft to a ds shop and get it cut? Instead of getting a abs driveshaft?

Yea, im not sure what the size difference is but if you know what it is, you could take it to a ds shop and have them cut a chunk out. I think they usually make you do the measurement though if im not mistaken

Yes that pic is of the ABS sensor, if it has that then get the ABS DS. The ABS DS is only about 1/4 inch shorter than a Non-ABS DS, but the differences can affect bushing/bearing wear.
