hilux Qs

[mud4b]

does anyone know what the STD diff ratio is in a petrol,s/cab hilux 84?

is there a rear disc conversion for this(no need for a handbrake as its on the t-case)?

[RUFF]

4.88 is standard gearing for all petrol 4cyl hilux's.

How is your handbrake on the Tcase??

[hypo]

yeah some pix and specs on this handbrake setup wood b gr8

MMmm this could be interesting!

[dave]

thats one interesting lux. I bet there would be one awsum bidding war on that t-case and hand brake setup.

Just a quick Q in regard to the 4.88 diffs
Does the petrol 4 cyl luxs with IFS have 4.88?
I need 4.88s for mine and if I could find some at a wreckers it will save me some money.

[mud4b]

whoops sorry i gave you the wrong idea. i purchased a complete hilux to use the diffs only from it.they are going into a suzuki sierra.it is a sierra t-case that has the disc onit.i have seen this setup on a hilux the disc was off a motorbike and was between the rear tail shaft and the t-case,using a gokart caliper.if your after a caliper that is manual use one off a trailer,these are avail from trailer stores.sorry for not giving the full info.

check out how similar these babies are to the caliper allpro uses, a mate and I are trying to source some and will let you all know.

Craig they are similar but are 3 times as big. Most auto patrts shops that sell ttrailer accesories have those. They are like $60 each.

[mud4b]

what diff ratios (closer to ,or over 5) are available for these lux diffs.
4.88 is no good for the zook.

they dont look 3 times as big to me, look exactly the same actually except for the linkage pivot, they take a 6.5mm disc which is approx 180mm round as opposed to 6.5mm and 198mm for the allpro.

you can get 5.29's out of early hiace vans or aftermarket for lux diffs

[mud4b]

sweet thanks heaps,ill have to hunt some up.

[Shorty40]

You can also get 5.71s for a lux.

Not sure if they came std but I just saw 4WD Systems ad

[POS]

5.29's also come in the 2wd hilux ute!

The 5.29 are a lot weaker than the other ratios but will suit the lighter suzuki!

I have never seen anyone run the 5.7 ratio but the guys in the states say they bust like balloons they are very weak!!!

The 5.29's are very easy to find at the wreckers and are also very cheap!

Some guys pay about $50.00 each!

[mud4b]

thanks people,ill have to go the strong ones so ill hunt some up.($50 if i can find em for ,that is cheap as)

[mud4b]

so does anyone know if there is a rear disc conversoin?or should i just try to convert front discs and calipers to the rear?

[RUFF]

Sorry i dont think there is a disc conversion available in Australia off the shelf. Lots of guys have done this but i am yet to here of someone that is totaly happy with theirs.
I am using Early Import Pajero rear disks and calipers and these have the handbrake on the caliper but the handbrake does not work well.

90% of all vehicles I have ever driven have handbrake issues, but ive never driven a new vehicle

[mud4b]

thanks ruff.i dont need the handbrake on the caliper.
