Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have put a deposit on a 1990 model 80 series and I didn't check the rear brakes. I know it had 15 inch rims. So what's the verdict. Drums or Disc?

poverty pack came out only with drum brakes. the rest are disk

Disc Rears but have a drum behind the rotors for handbrake.

Sounds good guys, I was a bit skeptical considering the later models need 16 inch rims to fit over the rear brake calipers.

yeah, this spun me out when i done my brakes, had never seen a handbrake done like this before.
Outside rotor disk brake, inside the rotor a drum brake

ford falcon & commodoores are the same to hand brakes in 80s are shit you can ajust them up and the next week they need readjusting again

Don't rely on the handbrake. The really are shocking.

Is there any way to improve the handbrake?
This is thing I will miss about the Nissan and the Rover.

HaHaHa leave it in 1st or P

Hahahaha OK P will do me fine.
Cheers

I always just use my handbrake regardless of the incline/decline.......... am i asking for trouble?

Did the same with my 4Runner also, both handbrakes work fine

mums handbrake works perfect if its nose up a hill, if its nose down i coould probly push it around with the hand brake on. So whenever we're parked on a hill we nose it up as we cant leave in gear cause we gotta wait for the turbo timer and lifes too short to wait for that bloody thing!

Another Q
Seeing as mine is a water cooled turbo and my little sticker says 120sec max is fine for a long trip to cool down...is this really enough time?

Also says around town no need for cooling down just switch her off...yes?

Just to be on the safe side, both mums 1HDT and my 12HT have turbo timers. we never turn them straight off (unless we've just moved them from one side of the driveway to the other) we leave it up to the T/Timer, thats why they're there. Around town we let it idle down for 1 min, decent run up the freeway or any towing 3 mins and all day driving on the freeway 5 mins (which is overkill but who cares) both vehicles have nearly reached 350 000kms and the turbos havnt been touched. Water Cooled?????? on a 1HDT? I thought the CT26 on the 1HDT was oil cooled only? Not saying this is right, this is just what we do .

I was always taught to, and always park my 4Runner in gear (opposite to the direction its facing so 1st point uphill, R pointing downhill) and use the handbreak.. GF hates it, but i told her she'd hate it more if her handbreak failed and her car rolled away.

Was it on ebay??? There is a import on there masking as a sahara...
