What year did the 80s get rear disc brakes??

and is it common for the big end bearings to need doing in a 4.2 non turbo 80??

Cheers in advance.

quick pre purchase Q's.

93

Mine is a 93 and I've got rear discs.

Question 2...... No

Nearly all the 80's had rear discs, only a small quantity of early std wagons had rear drums.

1HZ's are not known to have b/e bearing probs, only the 1HD-T factory turbo's.

gxl had four wheel disks, all standeds pre 8/92 had rear drums.

Your dreaming

It is good practice to do your big end bearings regardless of the 1HZ or the 1HD-T.
GXL and above all had disk brake rear from the the begining.

Cheers guys!
im picking up a 92 DX either today or tomorrow and i didnt check if it was 4 wheel disc or drum rear. in anycase it will be a heap better then my 40s brakes im sure.
Well for double points, whats the size of the 92DX diesel fuel tank? and the size of the sub tank???

Max fillable without stopping in your tracks will be @130L

Welcome to 80 country... Check the c pillars for cracks, Turbo the 1HZ to 11psi, intercool it and drive baby drive!

cheers, thats enough fuel capacity top stuff!!!!

and yeah a turbo would be ace, just see how we go.

oooh if the 1/92 has discs there is hope yet. im getting it this arvo so i will know soon enough.

Dumbdunce filled his multivalve up the other week with 141L, after we added about 4 litres from a jerry can to get him to the petrol station. Before we added the fuel, it was starting to cough and splutter a lot.

I put 85 litres in my main tank once. I was starting to sweat real bad. Have not used the sub tank yet, at about 195 litres I am just not game to fill it without cutting off my arm.
