I had a 80 model hilux, and apart from the gutless 18R 2ltr petrol motor, bad fuel economy, 4 speed box, leaf sprung front and rear, no weight over the arse, More bog than metal, vinyl bench seat, no air con, etc what's not to love?

This ones supposed to be good on fuel its a 5 speed petrol cant remember the engine type though ahwell im sick of my l28 mq swb and cant afford another gq at the moment so ill give the hilux a play and see how it goes
I had an 82 Hilux before the GQ. Bloody loved it mate. Not a GQ by any stretch but great fun. Mine was on LPG. 18r
If you buy it I have a set of factory manuals for the 18r. Would be willing to sell them to you.
Leaf sprung strong arm steering gutless petrol lots of rust. Loved the rear window slider.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

Not getting alot of good feedback lol
How are they for breaking down though just as a work ute then
Well its a 32 year old car that has probably seen a hard life. the 4cyc is easy enough to work on and plenty of room to work. Its $1300! It will probably slog it out mate. I blew a head gasket on mine and fixed it myself in the driveway. sent th head for machining but thats all. Up until that moment i had never done an oil change unassisted. That was a long time ago
Its $1300, it has a Tub for your tools and an engine and RegoHappy days. Your not buying a Keeper .
