I have done the swap car runs fine etc... I just noticed though Jim was over last night with his talon 6 bolt swap too. He is using the 6 bolt tube and dipstick. I myself am using the 7 bolt tube and dipstick does anyone know if they ARE different or the same?
 
couldn't tell you for sure, but you could always compare dipsticks with him....wait that sounds a little weird WTF

OMG WTF
 
I have both gonna measure just wasn't sure if I would miss somthing that was all.
 
I don't think there's any difference. When I did the swap, I reused the dipstick from my 7 bolt and put it on my 6 bolt and it has been fine.
 
My dipstick is way bigger, no wait. uhh... WTF

I dobut its any different. It will be like many other 6bolt/7bolt thing. A few guys will say it's not the same but it is. I have my 7 bolt stick, I should whip it out and measure to see how long it is.. :sneaky:
 
I have used a galant vr4 (6 bolt) dipstick on my 2g for a year so im pretty sure they are interchangeable.
 
The dipsticks are the exact same. I have 3 6 bolt swaps and used 7 bolt ones now. My first one (my car) i CAPS the part numbers and they were different......1g metal handle ...2g plastic handle. Thats it.
