Re: Box section tailshaft.. What size tubes to use together

I have that exact one on my hilux.

The thing is between my custom front and rear shafts they cost me about $900

I'm going to start doing comps, all crawling stuff and was planning making something cheap to swap over before the event, and if it breaks or bends I can put my proper balanced shafts ...

Re: Box section tailshaft.. What size tubes to use together

Why make a dodgy unbalanceable SHS slip jointed shaft when you can buy a proper extra long splined slip joint?

Has it got an electronic dissy?
If so, swap it and the coil for another one to try.

It's a points dizzy if that helps.

Re: Hilux 253 and QLD rego issues

The last 253 in a Commo was about 1984 I think.
No way in hell it will pass in a 94 Lux in Ql;d on petrol or even dual fuel.
Straight LPG is the only way to get it approved... Either that or fit a later model EFI motor.

Raised springs won't stop tyres scrubbing at full stuff though. You need bumpstop extensions for that or guard cutting.
