The earlier model utes were drum braked on the front, the later model 1400 and 1500s got the discs. A long time Datsun rally driver over here built a 1200 ute for rallying as the
homologation for the cars had long run out for international competition. He fitted discs to it and discovered they were considered a homologated Group B mod, so he had to compete in the
same class as the Lancia Delta S4s and MG 6R4s !! His ute was probably the last 1200 to compete in a round of the World Rally Championship. Over the following years it was further
modified and ended up with VG30 twin turbo squeezed under it's bonnet. Sadly it was destroyed in a very high speed crash a couple of years back. I will dig up some photos of it.
