IMHO I wouldnt skimp on the drive shaft. Its kinda of important to get it right. Go talk to the guys at "mr circle track"

Dont know about what pipe to use or anything like that........ Thats why I have used a B310. Works out to be good on length and has to be close to the right strength and stuff.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Yeah CA/SR use the same spline me and chris confirmed that at our old garage.
Mine is a 2.5" tube as thats what the sr one was so I just went with that. If I was going turbo I probably would have gone 3" just to be safe.

oh well Chris, there you go. AFAIK all the L series UJ's are rebuildable. Just find an L series input with the same diameter tube as the hilux uses. And bob's you uncle!
