Thank you very much from your help.

Best Regards

You asked for everything after time 80000, and that's what you got. If 
you really want to be sure, use trjconv to make the subset of the 
trajectory, verify its content with gmxcheck or gmxdump, and use g_rdf 
on that. And then observe you get the same result as you already have.
